The Church Bells: An Introduction in Song

THE CHURCH BELLS

You’ve got me on the run,
Since you let me know I’m not the one.
You promised to be true,
But you traded me in on someone new.

Chorus:
You promised me your love,
But all you gave me was pain.
I think I’ve got a right to complain.
I listen to the church bells toll.
They tell me it’s all beyond my control.

I stare into my glass,
Hoping this heartache will someday pass.
I bury my thoughts in a book.
I wish that that was all it took.

(repeat chorus)

I walk out into the rain
To try to wash away this pain.
You’ve got me down in a hole.
It all seems to be beyond my control.

(repeat chorus)

You’ve got me on the run,
Since you let me know I’m not the one.
You promised to be true,
But you’ve traded me in on someone new.

(repeat chorus)
