I've got some feelings I long to be rid of
Bells of the evening, O bells of the sea
So if I should wander on back to the coast
Though I had one lover more lovely than most
Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground
Who took to the city by chance there to find me
I'm not one to ramble, I'm not one to boast
Bells of the evening go pealin'
Bells of the evening, O bells that I love
Bells of the evening, your sweet Sunday sound
I'm lost with no road signs to guide me
Of being forever displaced
Tell her that I miss her, that I'm lost and so lonely
The streets of the old town are covered with rain
I'm caught by the minstrel's misfortune
She was a country girl born to be free
A slave to my whiskey and dreams
Bells of the evening, O bells of the sea
I think I might never know true love again
Tell her to remember it's her I need the most
I'm down here listenin' to you
