Michael Martin Murphey - Ring of Truth lyrics

Blue eyes Like a sailor's dream Laughter clear like a runnin' stream Warm, sincere and serene That's the way our lovin' seemed Musta been about sixteen We didn't know anything The first time we heard the ring of truth The ring of truth Like an old church bell At the stroke of midnight Answers "all is well" To my ear I held An old seashell And heard a ring of truth Then I saw it the spring moon rise Ring around rings making circles in the skies Heard it in her voice, saw it in her eyes Suddenly I realized Love's a pendulum in swing Your heart doesn't know a thing Until it strikes the ring of truth The ring of truth Like an old church bell At the stroke of midnight Answers "all is well" To my ear I held An old seashell And heard a ring of truth Now you ask me, "would I go back to her?" The answer's no That it was a long time ago She taught me all I needed to know But sometimes when I dream I can swear I hear the running stream I can swear I hear the ring of truth The ring of truth Like an old church bell At the stroke of midnight Answers "all is well" To my ear I held An old seashell And heard a ring of truth The ring of truth Like an old church bell At the stroke of midnight Answers "all is well" To my ear I held An old seashell And heard a ring of truth
