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.
