Ring the Bells - Straight Lines

Oh my friends it’s been a while since we walked the main road

Wasting all our energy pulling on the old ropes

Some time apart will make us stronger

Oh my dear it’s been a while

You run away and had a child

Said the fathers up and gone

Couldn’t take it any longer

But absence makes the heart go wonder

If you think we’re gone

Then you’re truly mistaken

If time is a test

Then it’s one we have taken

Ring the bells the boys are coming home

No longer will you ever stand alone

Stay this time

But you know I’ll be gone

Where am i going, I head for city lights

I like the country, but it sleeps at night

And nights are long when you sleep alone

Say you can’t live your life on a phone line

Telling you everything is gonna be fine

But all I know is all you tell me

If you think we’re gone

Then you’re truly mistaken

If time is a test

Then it’s one we have shaken

Ring the bells the boys are coming home

No longer will you ever stand alone

Stay this time

But you know.

Put me in the fight

Put me in the fight

Put me in the fight

Put me in the fight

Put me in the fight

Pull me in the fight

Put me in the fight

Put me in the fight

If you think we’re gone

Then you’re truly mistaken

If time is a test

Then it’s one we have taken

If you think we’re gone

Then you’re truly mistaken

If time is a test

Then it’s one we have taken

Ring the bells the boys are coming home

No longer will you ever stand alone

Ring the bells the boys are coming home

No longer will you ever stand alone

Stay this time

Stay this time

But you know I’ll be gone
