Ring, Tired Bells

lyrics

Ring, tired bells
Out

With a love that won't ever falter
I'll follow you to the altar
Ring, tired bells, don't ever falter
Don't give me reason to doubt her

O shameful love that makes me wonder
Shouldn't I be torn asunder
If she should die, or even wander
Don't feed my fear or make me blunder
Could you make me blunter?

Anchor, tether, latch yourself to me
Anchor, tether, latch or set me free
Anchor, tether, latch yourself to me
Anchor, tether, latch or set me free

My foolish mind that never rests
Can't even sleep at your behest
But shallow eyes will let me rest
You bare your soul, n'I'll bare your breasts
You iron bells, you'll never tire
Nor would you melt were this my pyre
Ring, tired bells, 'til I expire
You never will make me a liar
Could you make me lighter?

Anchor, tether, latch yourself to me
Anchor, tether, latch or set me free
Anchor, tether, latch yourself to me
Anchor, tether, latch or set me free

Don't I know by now that you've been here before
But the hand you forsook wasn't mine
Don't I know by now that you've been here before
But I just can't help wasting my time
Don't I know by now that you've been here before
But the hand that you take could still be mine
Don't I know by now that you've been here before
But I just can't help wasting my time
