Chapel of the Chimes

All of your life, what you have left
Trapped in a moment that won't open to the next
Caught in a blink, stuck between breaths
Nowhere to go and no idea what to expect

And I know you've been here and you've been out
And now you're back here and it's like you were never free
And I know I can't believe it for you
But I believe it and I'm with you, and I'll stay
Here until the moment falls away

See and the sun is sinking
Why don't you come to bed
I know what you're thinking and it's poison in your head
See and the fog is lifting
Drifting beyond the bay
You'll see it all green in clover
The world that you thought was over

It's just a momentary spasm of the mind
Hand on your heart and it's thumping
Ring in the year at the chapel of the chimes
I guess it had to be something

All of your life you have assumed
If you want space you'll have to carve it from the world

Like you would pluck a leaf from the branch
Hold it alive for a time but you know that it can't last

And you're turning me over in your fingers
Thinking that while the feeling lingers, it's all right
But I'm not going anywhere tonight

See and the sun is sinking
Why don't you come to bed
I know what you're thinking
And it's poison in your head
See and the bells are ringing
Bringing the day to end
You follow the years behind me
And you will know where to find me

I'm in the orchard growing apples of my eye
Folding up my apple dumpling
Ring in the year at the chapel of the chimes
I guess it had to be something

And time is all the things that happen all the time
Always arrived, always coming
Ring in the year at the chapel of the chimes
I guess it had to be something

When you wake up there's so much to do
I've asked the morning to wait up for you
When you wake up there's so much to do
I've asked the morning to wait up for you
Honey wake up there's so much to do
The day is forming and it's just for you
Darling wake up there's so much to do
The day is forming and it's made for you
