Those Distant Bells

The car crunches gravel And the wind licks at you This dark spell you're under Has you dumbstruck by the gate It hurts every muscle Just to walk back to the house Now this home that you both made It looks haunted from the yard [Chorus] You can hear those distant bells And you know they'll never leave It's like your church is crying out Like the wolf calls to her young And the dark never enters But it also never leaves And this spark that he gave you Is just an ember all but out If he'd one eye on the exit Oh you never would have known Until he drove off in the darkness Like some slowly fading song [Chorus]
