Lyrics to “Hammer and the Chimes” by Catherine Scholz

The Hammer and the Chimes

Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz

Your eyes took me to places I’d longed to know.

Goodbyes are tearful faces afraid to show.

Memories of the time we spent

Cannot be taken from my mind.

Perhaps the only purpose we had

Was listening to the hammer and the chimes.

Then our fears got in the way.

It’s clear that I had to pay.

Would you admit that we both had a part to play?

Our fears got in the way.

So many things I’d like to say

Without my words getting in the way

There’s so many things I’d like to do

If only I could get through to you.

Your eyes took me to places I’d longed to go.

Goodbyes are tearful faces letting go.
