Lyrics The Bells In The Evening - Steve Gillette

The Bells In The Evening

Down by the brook that runs through the dell
Listen to the ringin' of the evening bell
Standin' in the shadow of the green-gold hills
Hear the times, remember them well
Walking together in the fields of Spring
When the sound of her laughter set the bells to ring
Her fair beauty shown in the sun on the dell
Sent the flowers spinning, spinning like a carousel
The young berries growing in the glen by the score
And each one sweeter than the one before
But down the path that we traveled o’er
Don’t hear the ringing of the bells in the evening anymore
A springtime love turns to memory
Like the green turns to gold on the cottonwood tree
And down the path that we traveled o’er
Don’t hear the ringing of the bells in the evening anymore
Down by the brook that runs through the dell
Oh, listen to the ringin' of the evening bell
Standing in the shadow of the green-gold hills
Hear the times, remember them well
