Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams
For they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world’s on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride
Ring them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
So the people will know
Oh it’s rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow
Ring them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man’s son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled
With lost sheep
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies
Some days I hunt and hunt for the right music with the right singers. Other days I know exactly the singers I’ll be posting. They just seem right somehow. I knew yesterday was going to be a Dylan day. I could feel it. I listened to a few songs then this one. Right away I knew it was the right one.

Haven’t heard this one in a LONG time. Thanks.
Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries

And the world’s on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride
Ring them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand

Oh it’s rush hour now

Ring them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man’s son
Ring them bells so the world will know

And the mountains are filled
With lost sheep
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies
Ring them bells St. Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress
For the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long
And the fighting is strong
And they’re breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong

J,
Thanks for the lyrics.
Some days I hunt and hunt for the right music with the right singers. Other days I know exactly the singers I’ll be posting. They just seem right somehow. I knew yesterday was going to be a Dylan day. I could feel it. I listened to a few songs then this one. Right away I knew it was the right one.
