Manfred Mann `belle` Of The Earth Lyrics

`belle` Of The Earth Lyrics

The road is empty,
The subway lies ahead,
There is no music all the sounds
have gone dead.
The day is misty,
There's no life around,
'Cause
there's something wrong in this town. 

Out in the distance,
There's a
simple sound,
It comes, it grows.
Bell of the earth,
Ringing like a
tambourine,
Calling right out of the silent places,
Calling to me from
the empty spaces.
Core of the earth,
Singing like a violin,
Calling
right out of the silent places,
Calling me. 

Out on the freeway,
silence abounds.
The crowded highway is making no sound,
The limo driver,
he endlessly waits,
For the long drive across the golden state. 

Out
in the distance,
There's a simple sound,
It comes, it grows.
Bell of
the earth,
Ringing like a tambourine,
Calling right out of the silent
places,
Calling to me from the empty spaces.
Core of the
earth,
Singing like a violin,
Calling right out of the silent
places,
Calling me.
