Ring of Truth Songtext

von Michael Martin Murphy

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
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 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 twice
