Oh my friends it's been a while since we walked the main road
Wasting all our energy pulling on the old ropes
Some time apart will make us stronger
Oh my dear it's been a while
You run away and had a child
Said the fathers up and gone
Couldn't take it any longer
But absence makes the heart go wonder
If you think we're gone
Then you're truly mistaken
If time is a test
Then it's one we have taken
Ring the bells the boys are coming home
No longer will you ever stand alone
Stay this time
But you know I'll be gone
Where am i going, I head for city lights
I like the country, but it sleeps at night
And nights are long when you sleep alone
Say you can't live your life on a phone line
Telling you everything is gonna be fine
But all I know is all you tell me
If you think we're gone
Then you're truly mistaken
If time is a test
Then it's one we have shaken
Ring the bells the boys are coming home
No longer will you ever stand alone
Stay this time
But you know..
Put me in the fight
Put me in the fight
Put me in the fight
Put me in the fight
Put me in the fight
Pull me in the fight
Put me in the fight
Put me in the fight
If you think we're gone
Then you're truly mistaken
If time is a test
Then it's one we have taken
If you think we're gone
Then you're truly mistaken
If time is a test
Then it's one we have taken
Ring the bells the boys are coming home
No longer will you ever stand alone
Ring the bells the boys are coming home
No longer will you ever stand alone
Stay this time
Stay this time
But you know I'll be gone
