The Bells Still Ring

(album: Feed The Flames - 2014)

It's a long and lonesome road
If you ain't got nobody to hold
So I fell in love with a girl
And then I told her so

She was drunk in a fountain
Blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing
And I thought it was childish
But then I caught the joke

It made me laugh
And it made me sneeze like a common cold
And I felt alive
And I wanted her to know

The maps of all faces told our tales
Showed us where to go
And sometimes you read one
You already seem to know

The story you've been wishing for
And a face you want to see
When you turn out the light
When you drift off to sleep

That's a road you want to travel
That's the place you want to be
And that is the girl in your dream

Trouble comes and trouble goes
But love is like the open road
Roll down the window
Breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke
Love's a light inside your throat
To heal the hurt
To keep the warmth in

And so you read, and you dream and get nervous 'cause it seems
Like the words start to blur over time
But all things come and go
It's the way of the world
It's up to us to keep it alive

And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name
You make me feel like a kid
You make me feel like a man
You're my everything and the bells still ring

It's a long and lonesome road
If you ain't got nobody to hold
So if you really love someone
Then you should let them know
I was thinking about walking out
But then I cut myself at the devils mouth
I was foolish but we must break ourselves to grow

You're my ocean
You're my bolt
My undertow
You're my woman
Will you join me down this road?

Trouble comes and trouble goes
But love is like the open road
Roll down the window
Breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke
Love's a light inside your throat
To heal the hurt
To keep the warmth in

Growing up and growing old
Watch our stories unfold
Like an atlas to places unknown
An the point of it all is that
We can't be scared to fall
Or to fly
Or sink
Or swim

And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name
You make me feel like a kid
You make me feel like a man
You're my everything and the bells still ring
Just remember that we? re loved in many different ways
But I will fight for this
I am here to stay
You're my everything and the bells still ring
