Ringing Of Bells [*] Lyrics - 24 Carrots - Al Stewart

Upon this day, if all else fails 

It seems we'll have to face the truth 

I believe for my part in this thing 

I really did love you. 

What you loved was love itself 

And trying to make a lie come true 

I believe for your part in this thing 

You hardly even knew. 

All along the city streets 

You can hear the voices swell 

Like the ringing of bells. 

Memories on days like these 

They echo like the rain in wells 

Like the ringing of bells. 

The saturation point's been reached 

Can't soak up any more regrets 

I believe from the start of this thing 

I must have paid some debts. 

Looking at you now and then 

You seem to be like someone else 

I believe at the heart of this thing 

You hardly knew yourself. 

All along the city streets 

You can hear the voices swell 

Like the ringing of bells. 

Memories on days like these 

They echo like the sea in shells 

Like the ringing of bells. 

All along the city streets 

You can hear the voices swell 

Like the ringing of bells. 

Memories on days like these 

Run deeper than time can tell 

Like the ringing of bells.
