Two Bells Ringing At Once

I saw a golden ship sinking by the light of the Moon
I saw a harlequin swimming naked in a pool
I missed catching the midnight train
I was a Mennonite
And they forced my face into the dirt
But with my broken teeth
I tore the buttons from my shirt
I heard two bells ringing at once
King David played
His harp into the wind
And when he slept
I hung it on a chestnut tree for him
Death at my back, I outran the seraphim
Upon a wall, I painted a fleur-de-lis
Near the canal
Where the rotting barges sleep
Wandered the banks while a hydra hissed and weeped
I heard two bells ringing at once
Walked a dusty road, dragging an ancient driving wheel
Met the false and met the fair
Came upon the gallows there
Saw a body hanging, swinging in the cool night air
I heard two bells ringing at once
King David played a sad and mournful tune
I followed its call through April, May, and June
Sorry summertime, all through December too
I felt its sound down to my darkest, deepest root
I heard two bells ringing at once
I heard two bells ringing at once
