Chimes of Freedom (Live at Stockholms Olympiastadion, Stockholm, SE - July 1988 - Edited Version)

Chimes Of Freedom - Bruce Springsteen

Written by：Bob Dylan

Well far between sundown's finish

And midnight's broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway thunder crashin'

As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun

Sayin' it may be the chimes of freedom crashin'

Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight

Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight

And for each and every underdog soldier in the night

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

Well in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched

With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'

As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain

Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'

Yeah tollin' for the rebel yeah tollin' for the raked

Tollin' for the luckless the abandoned and forsaked

Yeah tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

Oh yeah

And then through a cloud like curtain in a far off corner flashed

There's a hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin'

Well electric light still struck like arrows

Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'

Well tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless secret trail

For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale

And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail

Yeah we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

Well starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught

Trapped by no track of hours for they hang suspended

As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look

Spellbound and swallowed has the tollin' ended

Yeah tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed

For the countless confused accused misused strung out ones at worst

And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

Uh uh uh
