Artist/Band: The Byrds
Lyrics for Song: Chimes Of Freedom
Lyrics for Album: The Byrds Play Dylan [2011]



Far between sundown's finish

An' midnight's broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway,

Thunder crashing.



As majestic bells of bolts

Struck shadows in the sounds

Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing.



Flashing for the warriors

Whose strength is not to fight

Flashing for the refugees

On the unarmed road of flight



An' for each an' ev'ry underdog

Soldier in the night

An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.



Even though a cloud's white curtain

In a far-off corner flashed

An' the hypnotic splatter

Of mist was slowly lifting



Electric light still struck like arrows,

Fired but for the ones

Condemned to drift

Or else be kept from drifting



Tolling for the searching ones,

On their speechless, seeking trail

For the lonesome-hearted lovers

With too personal a tale



An' for each unharmful, gentle soul

Misplaced inside a jail

An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.



Starry-eyed an' laughing

As I recall when we were caught

Trapped by no track of hours

For they hanged suspended

As we listened one last time

An' we watched with one last look

Spellbound an' swallowed

'Til the tolling ended



Tolling for the aching ones

Whose wounds cannot be nursed

For the countless confused, accused, misused,

Strung-out ones an' worse



An' for every hung-up person

In the whole wide universe

An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
