I know m'heart is heavy
I know m'thoughts is blue
I know the light will be shining all night
bells will be ringing dark and true
m' bells will be ringing dark and true
I feel like its been raining
I feel m'bones peelin paint
I know the red will be turnin twords the gold
all my warmth will be cold
all m'dark hair will be old
I see my fathers face
standing in my fathers skin
see m'fathers old and ugly shadow
down at the bottom of my pen
heart of gold growing dim
