Matt Gillespie - Peel from the Birch Lyrics

A dozen times you hear the chimes
Of the bells of the Lantern Church
Every day at noon it wakes you
Never forsakes you reminds you
You ain't yet been left in the lurch
There's still hope in spite of
All the drink and dope
There's truth at the end of this search
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Just as sure as the bark's
Gonna peel from the birch

You dig yourself out of a hole
When twelve times they toll
The bells of the Lantern Church
Every day at noon it stirs you
Always reassures you
Lets you know you ain't yet
Been left in the lurch
Gotta keep brawling
Even after always falling
Down from high up off some perch
There's a way to pick yourself back up
Just as sure as the bark's
Gonna peel from the birch

The pendulum will swing
At high noon as they ring
The bells of the Lantern Church
Every midday it revives you
Never deprives you of faith
That you ain't yet been left in the lurch
There's always a puncher's chance
You might get the last dance
If lady luck feels the urge
And at that time
You'll hear those church bells chime
Just as sure as the bark's
Gonna peel from the birch

There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Just as sure as the bark's
Gonna peel from the birch
