Parenthetical Girls - The Salvation Army Bell lyrics
[Parenthetical Girls - The Salvation Army Bell lyrics]
We rise with the smell of the winter
As the Salvation Army bell
Starts to swell outside
We smile, let’s pretend we’re forgiven
Who knows what’s gonna happen
In another years time?
Fall, fall, the end of December
The break of day in a twin bed
All huddled together when Christmas came
The sky unseasonably bright as
The door bells ring the light
It tickes your nose like the dry champagne
Six to one, half dozen the other
It felt the same
After 4 years the arm round your
Shoulder is all that’s changed
You say, you say you don’t remember
The brittle December in blazen on my mind
When your eyes fell to signal surrender
A desperate gesture oh night divine
A cold day, the end of December
Those bright bells chime
In a twin bed we swore to each other
You’d show me yours if I showed you mine
Stripped of my winter clothes
Frozen toes, white as snow
Won’t you walk me home?
Love, love led me by the nose
Dressed in bows it held my throat
The story is old
I fell, i fell for this years ago
I lost the fight, it’s cold outside
But hope against hope
It’s fine, I know my time will come
Salt the snow, cast the stove
But, I just can’t let you go
As the Salvation Army bell
Starts to swell outside
We smile, let’s pretend we’re forgiven
Who knows what’s gonna happen
In another years time?
Fall, fall, the end of December
The break of day in a twin bed
All huddled together when Christmas came
The sky unseasonably bright as
The door bells ring the light
It tickes your nose like the dry champagne
Six to one, half dozen the other
It felt the same
After 4 years the arm round your
Shoulder is all that’s changed
You say, you say you don’t remember
The brittle December in blazen on my mind
When your eyes fell to signal surrender
A desperate gesture oh night divine
A cold day, the end of December
Those bright bells chime
In a twin bed we swore to each other
You’d show me yours if I showed you mine
Stripped of my winter clothes
Frozen toes, white as snow
Won’t you walk me home?
Love, love led me by the nose
Dressed in bows it held my throat
The story is old
I fell, i fell for this years ago
I lost the fight, it’s cold outside
But hope against hope
It’s fine, I know my time will come
Salt the snow, cast the stove
But, I just can’t let you go
