Lyrics for Tables Turning
The bells are tolling for me and my love Discreet horizon's fading, but fading from my trust All the walls are falling 'round my ears I can see the writing's on the wall Can't you tell me what's the use? I always place my trust in you Reaching out for what is mine Pulling down the miserable blinds Empty beds for an empty mind Something difficult to describe Content but not quite safe I stood and watched you fade away Can't you tell me what's the use? I always placed my trust in you Reaching out for what is mine Pulling down the miserable blinds Can't you tell me what's the use? I always place my trust in you People flying into the blinds How can we be so kind? Help yourself to another bite Everything will be alright The table's turning 'round to you ? It well before the silver cracks in two Can't you tell me what's the use? (The bells are tolling) for me and my life Can't you tell me what's the use? (Horizon's fading) for me and my life Can't you tell me what's the use? (The walls are falling) for me and my life Can't you tell me what's the use? (The tables turning) for me and my life
