Acony Bell Lyrics - Singles - Gillian Welch

The fairest bloom the mountain know 

Is not an iris or a wild rose 

But the little flower of which I'll tell 

Known as the brave agony bell 

Just a simple flower so small and plain 

With a pearly hue and a little known name 

But the yellow birds sing when they see it bloom 

For they know that spring is coming soon 

Well it makes its home mid the rocks and the rills 

Where the snow lies deep on the windy hills 

And it tells the world "why should i wait 

This ice and snow is gonna melt away"
