Verse 1
The kettle steams across the sill
My mother hangs the linen thin
A grackle taps the windowsill
And pulls the storm inside again
Chorus
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring the morning thin
Wait
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring me in
Verse 2
The gramophone loops once and fades
The garden folds its borrowed light
A letter never sealed was made
To keep the whole world out of sight
Chorus
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring the morning thin
Wait
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring me in
Bridge
Turn the dial to gliding strings
Let the cello hum
Soft as weather on a drum
Soft as weather on a drum
Chorus
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring the morning thin
Wait
Hollow bells of yesterday
Ring me in
