lyrics

V1
I was hung out to dry
Tied by my ankles and lifting up so high
My creams were gone with the wind
Counting clouds I knew that I could never win
I was left there to die
Left hanging high and dry and I knew it

Ch
But I was saved by the bellé
The girl from the war said she would never tell
And I was saved by the bellé
As one ship sinks another sets sail

V2
I was thrown from the tracks
Bashed and bruised I knew that I could not get back
I was fed to the wolves
Torn apart I knew I’d played by the rules
I was left there to cry
Reading signs in the sky and I knew it

Ch
But I was saved by the bellé
The girl from the war said she would never tell
And I was saved by the bellé
As one ship sinks another sets sail

Br
I fought the fool and I lost it
I saw the line and I crossed it
I broke the chains and I blew it
Nothing to gain and I knew it

Ch
But I was saved by the bellé
The girl from the war said she would never tell
And I was saved by the bellé
As one ship sinks another sets sail
