Adrianne Lenker - Ringing Bells

Isolation calls me in again
I see the white bark on the willow tree bend
I saw a flash spark, then a hurt heart, then a dead end
I don't think I'll be coming back again

You held your cup of coffee in your hand
Said, "There are things we'll never really understand
Like far away, the stars shake the grand plan
And soon this place is gonna be a wasteland."

Cause there's a flood all around we don't seem to see
Water is infinite, our bodies will leave
We live 'til we drown, we're dead 'til we're free

Colorado girl came in like a cold drip
Swept up in the wind's grip like a weather vane
You were hollow and it followed, she felt the same
She'll fill you up like the pouring rain

And if you love someone, never let them go, never
You're like a tightrope walker tied to a feather
And if you fall down, then you fall down forever
You better keep yourself up, find something better

Cause there's a flood all around we don't seem to see
Water is infinite, our bodies will leave
We live 'til we drown, we're dead 'til we're free

Well, I wanna hear the ringing bells
I wanna hear the ringing bells

I'll resurrect the heartbeat of an ancient drum
Don't rhythm go, please rhythm stay when the rhythm comes
Follow the rays of the light as they run
And through the woods I'm starting to see

That there's a flood all around we don't seem to see
Water is infinite, our bodies will leave
We live 'til we drown, we're dead 'til we're free

Well, I wanna hear the ringing bells
I wanna hear the ringing bells
I wanna hear the ringing bells
I wanna hear the ringing bells
