Echoes of bells

Bells bells bells
distant and nearby bells
you talk, you cry and you play
but what do you say ?

You stretch to my heart from away
you talk of bygone and replay
vague and bewildered fancies
where do you come from ?

Sometimes it whispers low
a fleeting wind and blows
the sea with your sound
breaths so much far and profound

Whispers of escaped voices
regrets of past things
sweet bells what do you tell
what do you sing?
