Remember when our songs were just like prayers. | |
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air. | |
Come down come down sweet reverence, | |
Unto my simple house and ring... | |
And ring | |
Ring like silver, ring like gold | |
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio | |
Ring like clear day wedding bells | |
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell... | |
We’ll never tell | |
Come to me clear and cold on some sea | |
Watch the world spinning waves, like that machine | |
Now I’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell | |
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell | |
Now I’m covered up in straw, belly up on the table | |
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable. | |
That tall grass grows high and brown, | |
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground | |
And you sent me back to where I roam | |
Well I cursed and I cried, but now i know... | |
now I know | |
And I ran back to that hollow again | |
The moon was just a sliver back then | |
And I ached for my heart like some tin man | |
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... | |
oh it's ringing | |
Ring like crazy, ring like hell | |
Turn me back into that wild haired gale | |
Ring like silver, ring like gold | |
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal. |
Remember when our songs were just like prayers. | |
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air. | |
Come down come down sweet reverence, | |
Unto my simple house and ring... | |
And ring | |
Ring like silver, ring like gold | |
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio | |
Ring like clear day wedding bells | |
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell... | |
We' ll never tell | |
Come to me clear and cold on some sea | |
Watch the world spinning waves, like that machine | |
Now I' ve been crazy couldn' t you tell | |
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell | |
Now I' m covered up in straw, belly up on the table | |
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable. | |
That tall grass grows high and brown, | |
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground | |
And you sent me back to where I roam | |
Well I cursed and I cried, but now i know... | |
now I know | |
And I ran back to that hollow again | |
The moon was just a sliver back then | |
And I ached for my heart like some tin man | |
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... | |
oh it' s ringing | |
Ring like crazy, ring like hell | |
Turn me back into that wild haired gale | |
Ring like silver, ring like gold | |
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal. |
