Arthur Brown - All The Bells lyrics
[Arthur Brown - All The Bells lyrics]
When I was a young one
I thought that love was lust
In the heat of passion
Bringing light to the dust
Then I turned to romance
Caught up in it's sway
I learned to do a new dance
I was on that carousel to stay
All the bells, they are ringing
Ringing out across the sea
It is the sound in my own heart
Calling from the land of the free
Visiting exotic places
Love began to educate my mind
Showing me the different faces
Of what we call humankind
I tasted
I roamed the swamps and deserts of the Earth
I ran with all the dogs and bitches
And I cried with those mothers at their birth
When I finally made it back to the homeland
I was dazzled by the brightness of it's glow
As I walked into my room
I could not understand
How I ended up like this all alone
Suddenly my mind was empty
There was nothing in it I had ever known
With the light of everyone
And I saw what to God's eyes alone, oh
Calling from the land of the free
Calling from the land-
Of the-
I'm calling, calling, callin'
From the land of the free
I thought that love was lust
In the heat of passion
Bringing light to the dust
Then I turned to romance
Caught up in it's sway
I learned to do a new dance
I was on that carousel to stay
All the bells, they are ringing
Ringing out across the sea
It is the sound in my own heart
Calling from the land of the free
Visiting exotic places
Love began to educate my mind
Showing me the different faces
Of what we call humankind
I tasted
I roamed the swamps and deserts of the Earth
I ran with all the dogs and bitches
And I cried with those mothers at their birth
When I finally made it back to the homeland
I was dazzled by the brightness of it's glow
As I walked into my room
I could not understand
How I ended up like this all alone
Suddenly my mind was empty
There was nothing in it I had ever known
With the light of everyone
And I saw what to God's eyes alone, oh
Calling from the land of the free
Calling from the land-
Of the-
I'm calling, calling, callin'
From the land of the free
