LYRIC
The Bells of St. Michaels
By an old carriage house
Walking and whispering and looking through windows
See how they live, don’t know the reason
We wander the night, both of us searching
together for something to give
While the bells, while the bells
While the bells of Saint Michaels are ringing
We sit on the swings
In a back pocket park
Watching the streetlights mercury golden shimmer and glisten
Footsteps of strangers inhabit the night
Sometimes like strangers trapped in their silence
We sit there and listen
Holding your hand like the most precious thing
That ever I touched in my life
While the bells, while the bells
While the bells of Saint Michaels are ringing
Lovers in Old Town
At least so I hear
Discover the secret of weaving together their pleasures and tears
Saint Michaels’ steeple looks down from above
Finding each other and coming together
Forever in love
While the bells, while the bells
Why the bells of Saint Michaels are ringing
