Karaoké Chimes of Freedom The Byrds

Far between sundown's finish an' midnights broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway thunder crashing as majestic bells of bolts

Struck shadows in the sound 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' every 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 splattered 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 de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de

De de de de de de de de de de de de da

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 'till 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 de de de de de de de de de de de de

De de de de de de de de de de de de de de de da
