The Bell In The Sea Lyrics

Lyrics: Helmer/Hogarth

Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas 

I dreamed I rolled on the ocean floor

In the sunken bones of a broken ship

On the shadow line where whispers creep 

To the world above from the world beneath 

On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 

'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives 

I dreamed of the moment of my own death

That no one ever dreams and lives 

I dreamed I sailed to the mirrored edge 

Of the murky world for an iron bell 

That dragged me down to the ocean depths 

And rang to mark where my shadow fell 

On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 

'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives 

I dreamed of the moment of my own death 

That no one ever dreams and lives 

That no one ever dreams and lives 

I dreamed I slept on the ocean bed 

In a silent grave of silver sand 

And rolled in the sway of an iron bell 

I've heard it said when they go to sea 

On stormy nights you can hear her moan

She tolls for the mourning of my own death 

And echoes here on the village stones 

I dreamed of silver I dreamed of gold 

'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives

I dreamed of the moment of my own death 

That no one ever dreams and lives 

That no one ever dreams and lives
