Six Bells Chime

This is where it started

The trucks, the trees and her six bells

Now baby's going to look back home

I'm wearing my clean clothes

Yeah, I still got the ones you gave me

You've been treading some unsafe ground

And baby looks tired tonight

Out amongst the pikes and narrow streets

You go around

I hear the six bells they're ringing

Yeah, the six bells they chime

Lay down your head now

You will sleep sound

I will hold onto you through life's time

You're seventeen

You're seventeen at this time

I wear your silver rings

With your hand on my heart

Left you there with your grey eyes

Pack up their suitcase and leave

Raise my hand up to the sky

Now don't you touch me

Don't you try

An age ago you wouldn't touch me

On the last day

We will always be fighting

A promise

A year of luxury

Perfect

Perfect kiss

How long my long-lost

Will the last day be?

I'm innocent of you there

And you of me

And you will sleep soundly

I will hold onto you in life's time

You're seventeen, babe

You're seventeen at this time

I met you when you were a young girl

Years and years, six bells back

Six bells passed above the two

There by the pier in another time

Well, I drew your body close to mine

You held your head up high then

You reached inside then

I'd give you everything at this time

My pretty one

My fearless one

You held your head up high then

My fearless one

About this time

My fearless one

My young, pretty one

The six bells, I'll make them ring

Lay down your head now

You will sleep sound

I will hold onto you

Until death's time

You're seventeen at this time

You're seventeen at this time
