Churchbells, Ghosts Songtext
Strange things happen in the city
Strange things happen in the street
Here I am, here I am out here walkin'
Walkin' in wilderness so deep
And every passing car I hear her callin'
In every one she speeds away
Hey, Lord, help me now because I'm leanin'
And I don't want to fall away
All my life I've held this hammer
Hammered boulders into stones
Strange things happen in the street
Here I am, here I am out here walkin'
Walkin' in wilderness so deep
And every passing car I hear her callin'
In every one she speeds away
Hey, Lord, help me now because I'm leanin'
And I don't want to fall away
All my life I've held this hammer
Hammered boulders into stones
Now I choke on tears of anger
And I am quickly growin' cold
Lord, I wish that you could see me
I stagger now a wounded Atlas
Nothing else but blood and bones
Lord, help me now because I'm drowning
My boat don't know the way to shore
Now I find myself in Kansas
Here I am, here I am, an aging hustler
Born without a mother, born without a soul
I ask somebody for a quarter
There was someone for me to phone
Lord, don't you hear me? I am calling
Lord, help me now, don't let me fall
I find myself in Charlotte, find myself in Jacksonville
Here I am, I'm disappearing
There's nothing left for me to kill
In every train that's running by me
I hear her singin' in the wind
Lord, help me now, I'm going over Lord, help me now, I'm going down
Hey
Mm-mm-mhm
Ooh-mhm-mhm
Hey
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ahh
Lord, don't you hear me cryin'?
Don't you hear me sayin' goodbye?
Mhm-mhm
Mm-mhm-mm
And I am quickly growin' cold
Lord, I wish that you could see me
I stagger now a wounded Atlas
Nothing else but blood and bones
Lord, help me now because I'm drowning
My boat don't know the way to shore
Now I find myself in Kansas
Here I am, here I am, an aging hustler
Born without a mother, born without a soul
I ask somebody for a quarter
There was someone for me to phone
Lord, don't you hear me? I am calling
Lord, help me now, don't let me fall
I find myself in Charlotte, find myself in Jacksonville
Here I am, I'm disappearing
There's nothing left for me to kill
In every train that's running by me
I hear her singin' in the wind
Lord, help me now, I'm going over Lord, help me now, I'm going down
Hey
Mm-mm-mhm
Ooh-mhm-mhm
Hey
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ahh
Lord, don't you hear me cryin'?
Don't you hear me sayin' goodbye?
Mhm-mhm
Mm-mhm-mm
