Dear Lord I'm standing at your door Oh please have mercy on my soul I was a bellringer before But now for me the bell has tolled
I used to ring with all my might By holding tightly to the rope My cassock really was a sight Unfurled just like the flag of hope
I rang the bell at dusk and dawn And never missed a single mass I rang for every newly born I rang for those who'd gone alas
Oh Lord I really rang those bells Yes Lord I really rang those bells
I saw them rugged, saw them smart I saw them bad, I saw them good But, when the time came to depart I saw them in their cloak of wood
I heard them promise, to repent And pray their soul, be heaven bound Perhaps their soul to you was sent The rest is ten feet underground
Oh Lord I really rang those bells Yes Lord I really rang those bells
I saw them full of joy and tears On every single wedding day And then I'd see them through the years Until I saw them pass away
I rang the bells for all my friends For those who held me in contempt In hope that some would make amends Especially those the devil kept
Oh Lord I really rang those bells Yes Lord I really rang those bells
I rang the bells the whole year long And never missed a single day From far and wide you hear their sound Inviting all of them to pray
I wish all of they'd come to you And really prove that they believe They'd find the comfort real and true And know that you could not deceive
Dear Lord I'm standing at your door, Oh please forgive my every sin Although I've not been here before I feel that I'm your next of kin.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
