The Bell Tolls

Night falls from the sky, evening closes in Still sat at the bar, get another gin Smoke still fills the air, piano still plays on But then the bell tolls, soon we'll all be gone Outside the door, the streetlights sway Slowly feel my mind decay Soon I'll shake the blues away Tomorrow's another day Every heart is quick to tear Ripped apart without a care Quick to part and quick to flair Quick to judge and stare Night falls from the sky, evening closes in Still sat at the bar, get another gin Smoke still fills the air, piano still plays on But then the bell tolls, soon we'll all be gone You sit down beside me Stare right through your drink You can hear me breathing And I can hear you think I know I could help you If you could only ask But then you're out the door Back behind your mask Night falls from the sky, evening closes in Still sat at the bar, get another gin Smoke still fills the air, piano still plays on But then the bell tolls, soon we'll all be gone My mind's across an ocean But my body's still right here Slowly rotting on this stool Soaked in rum and beer The pipes are nearly dry There's not a drop to spare And if you look behind my eyes You'll see there's no-one there Night falls from the sky, evening closes in Still sat at the bar, get another gin Smoke still fills the air, piano still plays on But then the bell tolls, soon we'll all be gone
