This is where it started   The trucks, the trees and her six bells   Now baby's going to look back home   I'm wearing my clean clothes   Yeah, I still got the ones you gave me   You've been treading some unsafe ground   And baby looks tired tonight   Out amongst the pikes and narrow streets   You go around   I hear the six bells, they're ringing   Yeah, the six bells they chime      Lay down your head now   You will sleep sound   I'll hold onto you   Through life's time   You're seventeen   You're seventeen at this time      I wear your silver ring   With your hand on my heart   Left you there with your gray eyes   Pack up their suitcase and leave   Raise my hand up to the sky   Now, don't you touch me   Don't you try   An age ago you wouldn't touch me   On the last day   We will always be fighting   A promise   A year of luxury   Perfect   Perfect kiss   How long, my long lost,   Will the last day be   I'm innocent of you there   And you of me      And you will sleep sound   I'll hold onto you   In life’s time   You're seventeen   You're seventeen at this time      I met you when you were a young girl   Years and years six bells back   Six bells passed above the two   On a pier in another time   When I drew your body close to mine   You held your head up high then   You reached inside then   I'd give you everything   At this time   My pretty one   My fearless one   You held your head up high then   My fearless one   From this time   My fearless one   My young pretty one   The six bells - I made them ring      Lay down your head now   You will sleep sound   I will hold onto you   Until death's time   You're seventeen at this time   You're seventeen at this time
