Hear The Bells

The last time we met was down at the tap room Drinkin' Mezcal and tears in our eyes You sang me a song sweet as a monsoon Blowin' in from the South Hear the bells ringin' out Let 'em ring on New Year's Day I sat on the hill near the mission Where lovers meet and when poppies bloom I followed the ranchers rambling down Broadway Sellin' crops on the side of the road Their heart's in Sonora whenever it rains And wherever they roam Take this charm and dry your tears Won't you wear it to ease your mind? Hear the bells ringin' out Let 'em ring on New Year's Day Hear the radio blarin' a sad corrido "La tierra del sol suspiro por verte Quisiera llorar, quisiera morrir" Come this November's Procession Mezcal on Sunday with tears in our eyes 'Cause it's foolish to laugh and pointless to cry About some old photos buried inside the cracked and crumblin' walls Take this charm and dry your tears Won't you wear it to ease your mind? Take a breath to soothe your sorrows Until they're gone, gone as the years fade away Hear the bells ringin' out Let 'em ring on New Year's Day
