Crossing (Lonely Bells)

(David Elias)
I used to hear them lonely bells
Ringing in the middle of a Sunday morning
Like from the bottom of a wishing well
And no one to reach down there
And turn them down

Then I walked up Blake and turned down Evans St.
Around the corner from those vacant lots
I learned that loneliness is where friendship and the road meet
I was younger then but I learned a lot

You're picking up a well known load
Take it down a lonely road
You need another place to go now...

I still think I hear some of them lonely bells
Ringing in the middle of my daydream
And then I push on off and think oh what the hell
I'd rather be right back on Patrick St.

You're picking up a well known load
Take it down a lonely road
You need another place to go now...
