Ari Herstand - One Bell Lyrics

From the Album: Whispering Endearments

In the very beginning I fell
For so long I’d been waiting for one bell
But a sleigh ride came through
on the back there was you
tugging the horses to halt
You glanced right at me
asked to play harmony
with one bell

We know just one bell won’t suffice
each note comes in pairs just like dice
For harmony I can see
no one else but you and me

I jumped on hesitantly but I fell
Holding on very gently to my bell
You turned back to me
said don’t get too comfy
right here
This ride was for me
thanks for the company
my dear
You’re stops just up there
Without me you can share
one bell

We know just one bell won’t suffice
each note comes in pairs just like dice
For harmony I can see
no one else but you and me

I ring my bell right beside
You hold your bell locked inside
So I’ll burn down this Christmas tree
Set fire to this harmony
of bells

The beginning has come to an end
I once fallen so madly now spent
I have learned to turn off
all my feelings and block
my bell

I can’t push you to ring
I have tried now it stings
to tell

It’s now your new beginning you fell
Coming back to me ringing your bell
Thanks to you I can’t fall
I’ve put back up my wall
with one bell

We know just one bell won’t suffice
Each note comes in pairs just like dice
For harmony I can see
no one else but you and me
