Crime & the City Solution -- Six Bells Chime

From the movie “Der Himmel über Berlin“ (“Wings of desire“), by Wim Wenders Lyrics: This is where it started The trucks, the trees and her six bells Now baby’s going to look back home I’m wearing my clean clothes Yeah, I still got the ones you gave me You’ve been treading some unsafe ground And baby looks tired tonight Out amongst the pikes and narrow streets You go around I hear the six bells, they’re ringing Yeah, the six bells they chime Lay down your head now You will sleep sound I’ll hold onto you Through life’s time You’re seventeen You’re seventeen at this time I wear your silver ring With your hand on my heart Left you there with your gray eyes Pack up their suitcase and leave Raise my hand up to the sky Now, don’t you touch me Don’t you try An age ago you wouldn’t touch me On the last day We will always be fighting A promise A year of luxury Perfect Perfect kiss How long, my long lost, Will the last day be I’m innocent of you there And you of me And you will sleep sound I’ll hold onto you In life’s time You’re seventeen You’re seventeen at this time I met you when you were a young girl Years and years six bells back Six bells passed above the two On a pier in another time When I drew your body close to mine You held your head up high then You reached inside then I’d give you everything At this time My pretty one My fearless one You held your head up high then My fearless one From this time My fearless one My young pretty one The six bells - I made them ring Lay down your head now You will sleep sound I will hold onto you Until death’s time You’re seventeen at this time You’re seventeen at this time
