Bells Of The Evening

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1: Bells of the evening oh sing to my love Tell her I miss her my own turtledove The streets of the old town are covered with rain I think I might never know true love again verse 2: I’m lost with no road signs to guide me A slave to my whiskey and dreams Bells of the evening oh bells that I love I’ve got some feelings I long to be rid of INTERLUDE: verse 3: N.C. I’m not one to ramble I’m not one to boast Though I had one lover more lovely than most She was a country girl born to be free Who took to the city by chance there to find me verse 4: Bells of the evening go pealing I’m down here listening to you Bells of the evening oh bells of the sea Tell her that I miss her that I’m lost and so lonely INTERLUDE: VERSE 5: Bells of the evening your sweet Sunday sound Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground So if I should wander on back to the coast Tell her to remember it’s her I need the most VERSE 6: I’m caught by the minstrel’s misfortune Of being forever displaced Bells of the evening oh bells of the sea Tell her that I miss her that I’m lost I’m so lonely OUTRO:

La chanson évoque le chagrin d'un homme qui pleure la perte de son grand amour. Il se sent perdu et sans repères, enfermé dans ses souvenirs et ses addictions. À travers les cloches du soir, il adresse des pensées à sa bien-aimée, lui exprimant sa solitude et son désir de la retrouver. Le paysage de la ville sous la pluie reflète son état d'âme, tandis que ses souvenirs la ramènent à des moments plus heureux, notamment dans la nature, évoquant un contraste entre la vie citadine et la beauté des paysages. Le ton nostalgique souligne une quête de réconfort et de connexion avec celle qui lui manque tant.
