Golden Bells
Echoes of Love and Loss: Golden Bells Unveiled
Lyrics
Well the choirs were singing and the candles they were burning
Choirs singing and candles burning during a religious ceremony.
And the lantern girls and alter boys were crossed and cleaned
Lantern girls and altar boys, symbols of religious rituals, were prepared and organized.
And my baby and me watched the prayers go higher and higher
The narrator and their partner observed prayers ascending during the ceremony.
As we sadly, slowly, surely took our leave
The couple reluctantly left the ceremony, possibly indicating a somber or emotional moment.
We're crying now
The couple is now crying, expressing emotional distress.
We we're crying then
Recalling a past time when they were crying, suggesting enduring emotional pain.
Hearing golden bells
Hearing golden bells, a symbol of something significant or spiritual.
So we walked the long mile from the chapel gates
Walking a long distance from the chapel gates, possibly symbolizing a journey in life.
And I felt her warm in my hand as the wind drew us faster
Feeling warmth in the narrator's hand, possibly a comforting or reassuring presence.
We had no names or flowers in the churchyard
No names or flowers in the churchyard, suggesting a lack of conventional remembrance.
No cards or pity just a childlike space in our hearts
No cards or pity, just a childlike space in their hearts, emphasizing innocence or simplicity.
We're crying now
The couple is crying again, indicating ongoing emotional pain.
We we're crying then
Recalling a past time when they were crying, reinforcing the theme of enduring emotional distress.
Hearing golden bells
Hearing golden bells again, underlining the significance of the mysterious bells.
Oh the light that shines on life
Describing the light that shines on life, possibly referring to the illumination brought by understanding or experience.
And the living that can tell
Reference to the living who can tell about life's experiences.
Oh the joy, when the gates we reach
The joy when reaching the gates, symbolizing a positive culmination or achievement.
And ring those golden bells
Ringing golden bells again, suggesting a celebratory or significant moment.
