THE PASSING BELL

from WALLFLOWER by EllY Tree

/

about

Does time sometimes slip? There is an undoubted atmosphere in some places . Here we're back on the seashore again, firstly in Yorkshire before moving to a river near my home in Suffolk in the second.

lyrics

THE PASSING BELL

I heard them singing in the abbey by the sea
Caught the lilt of their plainsong flowing free
The gulls were circling round me in the summer sky
And the centuries fell backwards, so did I.


The past lives all around us
But the future will not tell
And time just keeps on ringing
like a bell, ringing the passing bell

Oh I felt his yearning to lie in homely ground
And I saw his sad eyes burning, flaming up through the mound
The wind that blew up from the river and it shook the leafless wood
And the centuries fell backwards where I stood

The past lives all around us
But the future will not tell
And time is ringing out
Like a bell, ringing the passing bell

Ringing(ringing ringing) the passing bell
Ringing(ringing ringing) the passing bell
Ringing (ringing ringing) the passing bell
