Ring Of Truth

Blue eyes like a sailor's dream
Left her clear like a running stream
Warm, sincere, and serene
That's the way our lovin' seemed
Must've been about sixteen
We didn't know anything
The first time we heard the ring of truth

Chorus:
Ring of truth
Like an old church bell
At the stroke of midnight
Answers all is well
To my ear I held an old seashell
Heard a ring of truth

Then I saw it in the spring moonrise
Ring around rings, making circles in the skies
Heard in her voice, saw it in her eyes
Suddenly I realized
Love is a pendulum in swing
Your heart doesn't know a thing
Until it strikes the ring of truth

Repeat Chorus

Now you ask me would I go back to her,
The answer's no
That was a long time ago
She taught me all I needed to know
But sometimes when I dream
I could swear I hear the running stream
I could swear I hear the ring of truth

Repeat Chorus twice
