"The Bells And The Birds" lyrics

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Lyrics

"The Bells And The Birds"

Listen how the bells they ring in the morning
What do they say to you my love?
Some hear a song and some hear a warning
What do they say to you my love?

They say we gotta get a move along
Farther down the line
Can't be wasting our time

Listen how the birds sing in the evening
What do they say to you my love?
Are they rejoicing or are they grieving
What do they say to you my love?

They tell me that life is sweet enough
To cheer us on our way
Just enough for today

Listen how the bells they ring in the morning
What do they say to you my love?
Listen how the bells they ring in the morning
What do they say to you my love?
What do they say to you my love?
