This Hollow Bell ------------------- I had a name once, I knew it well I tithed it by the day, and gave the rest away The keeper climbs the tower stairs, and I kneel by the rope The keeper pulls, I answer, and I call the sound my hope See, I'm wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine This hollow bell Toll, toll, toll, toll, this hollow bell What is there left of me now? I can't tell And the more that I pray, the less of me can stay See, I'm wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine This hollow bell Toll, toll, toll, toll, this hollow bell The kneeler's worn through to the board where I once used to speak My clapper lies in the vestry where it fell Ring on, the sound is yours, and all is well Ohh-ohh-oooohhh Keeper, don't you let me go quiet If you ring me too hard, I will learn to love the scar Come, climb the tower stairs, my keeper, and pull hard on the rope Nobody is left in here, and I can't cope See, I'm wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine, wholly mine This hollow bell Toll, toll, toll, toll, this hollow bell Toll, toll, toll, toll Wholly yours, this hollow bell, beloved Ah, toll, this hollow bell I'm wholly yours, beloved You won't hear another bell Toll, toll, toll, toll Come on, keeper, come, and ring me well And I'm, I'm wholly yours, this hollow bell Pull, keeper, pull, till there is no bell --- "This Hollow Bell" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
