Lyrics Silent Bells - Eddi Reader

There's a truth that is lost
In the noise life compels
That all that we are
Without love are silent bells

And where do prayers go
If the heart never tells?
Is all that we are
Without love, silent bells?

How does it feel
Made of fire and steel
Never allowed to ring
You know that it's wrong
When the soul has a song
It never gets to sing

So every child knows
That the sea heard in shells
Says all that we are
Without love, silent bells

How does it feel
Made of fire and steel
And never allowed to ring
You know that it's wrong
When the soul has a song
It never gets to sing

Without new hellos
There are no fare-thee-wells
Then all that we are
Without love are silent bells

All that we are
Without love, silent bells
