Silver Bells

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl crying in the night
Tender hearts calling out for someone
To come along and hold her tight

Lovers words whisper in the shadows
Promised land just beyond her grasp
Riding high upon a rainbow
Reaching out to touch the stars

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl growing up too soon
Tender heart so easily boken
Shattered pieces in an empty room

Silly dreams best left behind
Almost perfect that's good enough
Pots of gold just for fools
There's no such thing as lasting love

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl becomes so grown
Tender heart wrapped in pain
Believes she's better off alone

Wishes, wants and hopes aside
Need is all that's left
Working just for working's sake
She only wants to reach the end

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl waking up alone
Tender heart yearning for a partner
Someone, somewhere will be her home
