Lyrics
Doorbell in the Sky
by Timothy Walsh
Never been here? Ever alone?
Never seem to compromise?
Always living in these idle days
with you always on my mind.
Chorus 1:
I don't see it--these final-come places and
you don't say why.
I don't see it--these final-come places
or this doorbell in the sky....
I don't see it--never at home.
Never seen you close your eyes.
Always sleeping through these idle days
with you dreaming through my mind.
Chorus 2:
Never idle? Never alone?
Can I sing you till I die?
Always searching for these final days,
for some doorbell in the sky....
Bridge:
I can tell it--you can see in my home.
There's a pellet of something that grieves me and
I can smell it and I don't want to be here....
Up in heaven--never alone--
Lounge chairs all the time.
Looking down upon these idle days
like partners in a crime.
Chorus 2: "Never idle? Never alone? etc.
After dinner...afternoon...
Hereafter on your mind,
galavanting through these idle days--
Afterlife you'll never find.
Chorus 1: I don't see it--these final-come places etc.
