In Liverpool
On Sunday
No traffic

On the avenue
The light is pale and thin
Like you

No sound, down
In this part of town
Except for the boy in the belfry

He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven

He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something

Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am


Homesick for a clock
That told the same time

sometimes you made no sense to me
if you lie on the ground
in somebody's arms

you'll probably swallow some of their history

And the boy in the belfry

He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven

He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something

Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am


I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
You'll be the monk whose forehead is high

He'll be the man who's already working
Spreading a memory all through the sky


In Liverpool
On Sunday
No reason to even remember you now


Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself

Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church

For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't

Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am
