"Summoned By Bells" lyrics - BIG BIG TRAIN

Took a little time
To find the past
To walk the roads
We used to know
That lead us home

Houses in terraced rows
That crowd around
The railway yard
Just sidings now
All overgrown

Above the high fields (Ta, ta, ta, ta)
Clouds are grey and gold (Ta, ta, ta, ta)
It's as good a place as anywhere

War came
And fires were seen
From 30 miles away
A city burned
They wait in line

Out in the high fields (Ta, ta, ta, ta)
Summoned by bells (Ta, ta, ta, ta)
Church, school, factory, home

Along the London Road
Across the park at Spinney Hill
Sledging in the snow
We had our scrapes and our fights
It was part of the deal

Time moved quickly then
Things were changing all around
The world came to this small world
Over the hillsides and rooftops
Different stories were heard

[Chorus:]
We moved on, found a new place
Oh, we remembered the days of our younger lives
Yeah, we moved on

[Post-Chorus:]
Long years pass, we walk the roads
The roads that we used to know, oh
Carried with the rain that falls

Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na

A stone's throw from the line (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
Some of the old places survive (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)

A golden thread (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
In time (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)

A stream running down from the hills (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
Into the heart of the high fields (Na, na, na; na-na-na-na, na-na-na)

[Chorus:]
So come on now
You know it's alright
Oh, those were the days of our younger lives

Come on now (Oh-oh, oh)
Come on now (Oh-oh, oh)
Come on now

[Post-Chorus:]
Early evening, midweek in a market town
Oh, walking down those same old roads, we know!
We know, oh

Walking down those same old roads, we know

[Instrumental Outro]
