Quiet Giant

The Belle And The Ruin

Emma Langford The Belle And The Ruin - Quiet Giant
공유하기
There was a bell in a tower,
she tolled on the hour each day,
and would call on the people
to come and to listen.
Below on the earth
stood a ruin so old
that the sun knew the stones,
and she saw through
his doorways
and windows it glistened.
And so, she looked down
and she’d ring like a bell,
every syllable rang
out to tell him her feeling,
and he gazed around,
so amazed as she fell,
at each toll sweet and strong,
and their love went on pealing.
Daily he’d wish for a window
of hope,
she would throw down a rope,
and their love would ignite.
His roots were strong
in the ground,
still he longed to be where
he belonged, in the clouds,
by her side.
She heard his pleas,
and her eyes longed
to see for the first
that the whispers
of lovers held truth;
so, the heavens they heard,
and were moved
to answer to the cries
and desires of the bell,
and the ruin.
The crowd gathered round,
and a grief-stricken hush fell,
no hourly song would
ring out any longer,
the music was silenced.
The storm, it had crept
in the black of the night,
and the lightning it
struck like a sword
in the stone of the tower,
and violently, it cut her down,
ever ringing she fell;
every syllable rang out
to tell him her feeling,
and he gazed around,
so amazed as she fell
at each toll sweet and strong,
and their love went on pealing...
Their love went on pealing;
their love goes on pealing.
She’s but a shell now,
she lies in the dirt,
no songs passed her lips
since the night that
the lightning came,
stole her away;
but the holy men heard
of the love ‘tween the two
so they cut out her silver tongue,
buried her soul in his clay.
And so she lies down
and she rings like a bell,
every syllable rings out
to tell him her feeling,
and he gazes ‘round so amazed
as she fell at each toll sweet
and strong and their love
goes on pealing…
Their love goes on pealing.
There was a girl in a tower,
she’d meet with the birds of
the air and the clouds
that would skitter past hoping
she’d see ‘em.
There was a boy on the earth at
her feet who would
talk to the air,
and the ground,
he would pray would rise up
so she’d see him.
