lyrics

The bellman was free of ringing that night
cause the rain outside was so quiet
that in it's deceit no mercury's said

that the fogs would come alone
more than a thousand marching clouds
occupied swiftly all our where-abouts
soft whispers, some cries so very loud
you could hear unrhythmic poundings
of their choking hearts inside

Some got trapped in damned daft fumes
others in hot moistures of liquidised clouds
but there was one voice who got free & out

a one that came from deep below
a voice making love to the mime of a deaf boy
no howl, no shriek or beast there was
just the soft touch of a young mystique

Yes, the bellman was free that night
cause the rain was so quiet, so quiet in it's deceit
