Lyrics
Out beyond the harbour wall A little bell begins to call The swell comes in, the swell goes out The bell just rocks and does not doubt Ring me slow, ring me slow Wherever the quiet waters go I will float and I will stay Ring me slow, ring me slow Fog on the water, silver and deep Ships are dreaming in their sleep One soft note across the bay Tells them they are not far away Ring me slow, ring me slow Wherever the quiet waters go I will float and I will stay Ring me slow, ring me slow Rise and fall, rise and fall The sea is breathing, that is all And I am only here to say Someone is out here, all the way Stars come down to touch the tide Salt and silver, side by side Let the long night rock us on Until the gentle dawn Ring me slow, ring me slow Wherever the quiet waters go I will float and I will stay Ring me slow, ring me slow Ring me slow
