The bells are tolling for me and my love 

discreet horizon's fading, but fading from my trust 

all the walls are falling 'round my ears 

I can see the writing's on the wall 



can't you tell me what's the use? 

I always place my trust in you 

reaching out for what is mine 

pulling down the miserable blinds 



empty beds for an empty mind 

something difficult to describe 

content but not quite safe 

I stood and watched you fade away 

can't you tell me what's the use? 

I always placed my trust in you 

reaching out for what is mine 

pulling down the miserable blinds 



can't you tell me what's the use? 

I always place my trust in you 

people flying into the blinds 

how can we be so kind? 

help yourself to another bite 

everything will be alright 

the table's turning 'round to you 

? it well before the silver cracks in two 

can't you tell me what's the use? 

(the bells are tolling) for me and my life 

can't you tell me what's the use? 

(horizon's fading) for me and my life 

can't you tell me what's the use? 

(the walls are falling) for me and my life 

can't you tell me what's the use? 

(the tables turning) for me and my life
