Kershaw, Nik - The Bell Lyrics






There's a wholeness in the half light
Of a new night when the day is done
And her soft skin has a warm glow
And I do know I'm the lucky one

In a small boat on a calm sea
I can only look in awe
At the grey cliffs and the seal pup
As it swims up to the shore

There's an old pond in a tree's shade
And a bed made from a pile of hay
And I lie there, 'til the words come
If they don't come, I lie there anyway

Near the old docks, by the gasworks
Where the monsters pick up sticks
In the old house 'cross the main road
Corgi truck loads Lego bricks

These are the things I'll remember
These are the moments I'll treasure
These are the pictures I will paint myself
At the ringing of the bell

There are high hopes in a high chair
Sitting in there is a king to be
And he's smiling his little heart out
As he holds out his little arms to me

And the long walks in the sunshine
And the red wine on my tongue
How the sand runs through my fingers
How it lingers til it's gone

These are the things I'll remember
These are the moments I'll treasure
These are the pictures I will paint myself
At the ringing of the bell

Kershaw, Nik The Bell Comments
  1. c.... k....

    I don't appreciate the demonic entity. Nik gotta rebuke you for that. Because images like that aren't meant for us to store in our mind. I say this with kindness.

  2. A.... O....

    I like these visuals a lot!! Fits the song!! But the GoT scene haha, Iron Throne :D

  3. R.... D....

    Anybody hear the similarity to Madonna's "Wash All Over Me"? I thought it was the same song at first. Mr. Kershaw's is 3 years earlier of course.

  4. L.... P....

    This is a beautiful, elegiac ballad. Why is NK overlooked? He has McCartney 's harmoniousness with Lennon's musical impertinence, plus incredible lyrics. All from one humble yet indomitable source. Please rate my comment for both accuracy of appraisal plus artistic pretentiousness. I have no fear x

  5. f.... s....

    sempre bellissima, inimitabile musica. In questo caso una solennità ed un arrangiamento davvero da paura! sempre il migliore per me.

  6. C.... ....

    Haunting. Reminds me a lot of 'M62 Song' by Doves.

  7. R.... ....

    Pretty good tune being one of his newer songs

  8. P.... ....

    I cannot get enough of Kershaw these days. Being an original fan I lost touch over the years but I have since rediscovered the artiste and now have all his albums with each being better than the last...(if that were even possible) and sounding better than ever with such beautiful meanungful lyrics melody and instrumentation..I have total respect and admiration for Mr Nik Kershaw...

  9. J.... H....

    Another great no. 🤗

  10. C.... S....

    This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry.

  11. G.... R....

    Inimitable compositions from Kershaw
