Nik Kershaw - The Bell lyrics

There's a wholeness in the half light Of a new night when the day is done And her soft skin has a warm glow And I do know I'm the lucky one In a small boat on a calm sea I can only look in awe At the grey cliffs and the seal pup As it swims up to the shore There's an old pond in a tree's shade And a bed made from a pile of hay And I lie there, 'til the words come If they don't come, I lie there anyway Near the old docks, by the gasworks Where the monsters pick up sticks In the old house 'cross the main road Corgi truck loads Lego bricks These are the things I'll remember These are the moments I'll treasure These are the pictures I will paint myself At the ringing of the bell There are high hopes in a high chair Sitting in there is a king to be And he's smiling his little heart out As he holds out his little arms to me And the long walks in the sunshine And the red wine on my tongue How the sand runs through my fingers How it lingers til it's gone These are the things I'll remember These are the moments I'll treasure These are the pictures I will paint myself At the ringing of the bell
