Leo Sayer The Bells of St. Mary’s song lyrics

He used to play mouth organ

In a folk club, in a pub they call the Lady Jane

All the sounds as his friends and he would holler

Songs of love and songs of pain

There wasn't much that he could use his time for

So he used to practice everyday

And play the mouth organ, blues and hard luck

Someday soon I'm gonna break away

He used to listen to the bells of St Mary's

As they would echo through those early days

And sometimes even now he thinks that he still hears them

Although they're but a thousand miles away

And so he came into this crazy business

And do you know the stars all fell his way

And he became another rock [incomprehensible] rock and roll troubadour

And threw the mouth organ far away

And so he listens to the bells of St Mary's

And so their echo haunts him every day

So clear he could reach out and touch them

Although they're but a thousand miles away

Although they're but a thousand miles away
