Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapm Chimes of Freedom (live) Lyrics

Well far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sound
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom crashing
Yeah flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Well in the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightening
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightning*
Yeah tolling for the rebel, yeah tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked
Yeah tolling for the outcast, burning constantly at stake
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Alright now!

And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
As the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Well electric light still struck like arrows
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Well tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
And for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Well starry-eyed and laughing, I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed as the tolling ended
Yeah tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe (yeah!)
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Alright, now!**
Whoa whoa whoa
Well whoa whoa whoa whoa
Well whoa whoa whoa
Well whoa whoa whoaaa
