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