Nine Bells Lyrics

O my child
Welcome to the world
Such as it is
Such as it is

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e80203-kevin_gordon~nine_bells_lyrics.html ]
I ran through the woods
The green and the wild
Saw the river tearing at the bank
Like the fear in my heart
Fear at my heart

There's blocks of shadow
Between bars of light
Train on the trestle
Heading towards the night
And I feel like that--
Going where I can't see
But I know it's there
I know it's there

Sometimes I feel
Like a confidence man
And the truth is a secret
And the truth is a secret

Nine bells, and the blue sky rings
Shadows wither from under the trees
And I wrote this letter
Wrote this letter
Talking like you were standing here
