Sisters (Won't You Ring Those Mission Bells)

I cashed in, you cashed out
Waited on the sun
Comes like a vengeance to this frontier town
I could still see you standing there
Long after you were gone
Came like a vengeance to this frontier town
Hey Sisters won't you ring those mission bells
I'm sure I'm about to crash down here
But it's just too dark to tell
And the stars they sure looked beautiful
Just before the last one fell
Oh Sisters won't you ring those mission bells

There's this old church 'cross the street
I can see it from my motel room
Every Sunday morning they lift their voices to the King
And I admit that there has been a time or two
That I've taken meals there
And I know some Sunday mornings
Those old songs meant everything

Hey Sisters won't you ring those mission bells
I'm sure I'm about to crash down here
But it's just too dark to tell
And the stars they sure looked beautiful
Just before the last one fell
Come on Sisters won't you ring those mission bells

And I got 27 dollars in my pocket
It's just enough to get that ticket home
Ain't gonna gamble it or drink it
Gonna let those sisters sing me to that throne

Hey now Sisters won't you ring those mission bells
I'm sure I'm about to crash down here
But it's just too dark to tell
And the stars they sure looked beautiful
Just before the last one fell
Oh Sisters won't you ring those mission bells
