Byrds (chimes of freedoom)

noten/text

töne/sound

 

 

 Far between the sundown's finish

and midnights broken toll

we ducked inside

the doorway thunder crashing

As majestic bells of bolts

struck shadows in the sounds

seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

 

Flashing for the warriors

Even though the cloud's white curtain

in a far off corner flashed

and the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric light s still struck like arrows

fired but for the ones

condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Tolling for the searching ones

on their speechless seeking trail

for the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale

and for each unharmful gentle soul

misplaced inside a jail

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

 

dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee

dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee-duh

 

Starry eyes and laughing

as I recall when we were caught

can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended

As we listened one last time

and we watched with one last look

spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended

Tolling for the aching ones

whose wounds cannot be nursed

or the countless confused accused misused

strung out ones and worse

and for every hung up person

in the whole wide universe

and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

dee dee...
