Listening for the Bell
By Mike Green, 2020
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
Everything's so loud that I can't hear the words
So I listen for the sounds I recognize
The traffic and the TV and the baby's cries
Can almost hear the music in your eyes
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
What's the sweetest sound you don't have to strain to hear
it's being the quietest person in the room
you sit there like a yogi on the top of the hill
savoring your solo honeymoon
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
For whom does the bell ring, who's life might it preserve
It trumpets and it echoes all around
you hear it if you listen, if you shut out all the noise
you feel it as you slow the speed of sound
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
Listening for the bell that calls me home
the bell that calls you home, too
