A Ringing Still Songtext
von The Coal Men

Check in late at a cheap motel
Full of fools and trucks
And I can′t tell if they'd steal this shirt right off my back
I close my eyes and try to sleep
And think of all the people I could meet
Who would sympathize about just where I′m at

I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
Oh, it will not fade
It never fades away
I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
Oh, it will not fade
It never fades away


A lonely girl with pretty eyes
With thoughts that turn to suicide
She's never thought of love as something real
'Cause the silhouette of a man she knows
Who broke her body and cut her soul
Is a memory that has to scar and heal

She hears it ringing still
She hears it ringing still
And it will not fade
It never fades away
She hears it ringing still
She hears it ringing still
Oh, it will not fade
It never fades away

A war one day that made a man
Shipped off with a gun to a hostile land
At least he thought, "I′ll make my father proud"
He got back and no one cared
His hands would shake and they all stared
The things he′d done he'd never say aloud


He hears it ringing still
He hears it ringing still
And it will not fade
It never fades away
He hears it ringing still
He hears it ringing still
Oh, it will not fade
It never fades away

Time can hurt and leave you betrayed
There′s one thing that time cannot change

I check out of the one-night room
And watch the morning rise and bloom
It's a mystery, the things that′s still to come
And I look back at the stories told
All the pain and tears of the young and old
Can we kill the things that we're all running from?

We hear it ringing still
We hear it ringing still
And it will not fade
It never fades away
We hear it ringing still
We hear it ringing still
Oh, it will not fade
It never fades away

Well, I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
I hear it ringing still
