lirik lagu chimes of freedom – bob dylan
far between sundown’s finish an’ midnight’s broken toll
we ducked inside a doorway, as thunder went crashing
as majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing.
flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
an’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
through the city’s melting furnace, unexpectedly we watched
with faces hidden as the walls were tightening
as the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin’ rain
dissolved into the bells of the lightning.
tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
tolling for the luckless, they abandoned an’ forsaked
tolling for the outcast, burnin’ constantly at stake
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
the sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
that the clinging of the church bells blew far into the light
leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder.
striking for the gentle, striking for the kind
striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind
an’ the poet and the painter who lights up his rightful time
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
in the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
for the disrobed faceless forms of no position
tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
all down in taken-for-granted situations.
tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute
for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mist-tled prost-tute
for the misdemeanor outlaw, chained an’ cheated by pursuit
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flared
an’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting.
tolling for the searching on their speechless, seeking trail
for the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
an’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
starry-eyed an’ laughing as i recall when we were caught
trapped by no track of hours for they hang suspended
as we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look
spellbound an’ swallowed ’til the tolling ended
tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
for the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse
an’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
an’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
