BELLS OF ODILIA
(Richards)

The bells of Odilia
Are ringing once more
Now I’ve missed you again
Like I’ve missed you before

Out on the town
Is where I wanted to be
But this morning I swear
The town’s sitting on me
From there it must look
Like I’m letting you down
But I’m comin’ ‘round, Lord
I’m comin’ ‘round

The devil once whispered
Through his devil grin
Said "You can’t know you’re pure
Until you stand next to sin"
Lord, show your mercy
On my poison past
I have all these rough edges
So I don’t slip your grasp
We all tangle up
But I’ll get unwound
I’m comin’ ‘round, Lord
I’m comin’ ‘round

Well, it happens to me
All of the time
Temptation finds
The stool next to mine

Sometimes I hear you
At the end of the night
When the liquor’s set in
Through the smoke and the lights

But I’ll lay that all down, Lord
I won’t miss them that much
I may go out tonight
I’ll just look, I won’t touch

And the bells will ring
And I’ll follow the sound
I’m comin’ ‘round, Lord
I’m comin’ ‘round
