Silver Bell Lyrics


Silver Bell, Silver Bell
Yeah, that's the name of the old motelYou were traveling when they fell
Down on a bed at the Silver Bell
How you been, I'm doing wellI hear, you're digging a hole to hell
How you been, I'm doing well
Meet me tonight at the silver bellI hate to tell you baby, this is home
The wallpaper is a color called sea foam
Pull down the shades a little
And you've got yourself a prison cellEvery night the wicked wait tonight
Baby at the Silver Bell
Silver Bell
Yeah, that's the name of the old motelI did a stupid thing, I even tried
Feels like a hundred bees are
Stinging me from the inside
Don't know just what to do
Don't know just who to tellSo I'm telling you to meet me
Tonight down at the Silver Bell
Silver Bell

Yeah, that's the name of the old hotelI hate to tell you baby, this is home
The wallpaper is a color called sea foam
Pull down the shades a little
And you've got yourself a prison cellEvery night the wicked wait
Down at the Silver Bell

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Patty Griffin, born Patricia Jean Griffin, March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine, is an American folk singer.

She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts--a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar--to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label, however, and the label terminated her recording contract shortly after that. Many of the songs from Silver Bell were re-recorded for subsequent albums.
After switching to ATO Records Griffin brought out 3 albums in rapid succession: 1000 Kisses and Impossible Dream, which were both nominated for Grammy awards, and A Kiss In Time, a well-received live album. In March 2007, she released Children Running Through to great critical acclaim.

She has penned a wide variety of songs - Long Ride Home, Top of the World, Tony, Forgiveness, Chief, Mad Mission--that touch her listeners deeply. A number of high profile artists have covered Patty's songs, including the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, The Wreckers, Solomon Burke and pop star Kelly Clarkson; these have brought her exposure in the more mainstream pop and country worlds outside of folk music circles. Upon hearing Solomon Burke's cover of one of her tunes, she said she almost didn't feel worthy of singing it anymore.

Following her collaboration with Mavis Staples on a tune for a compilation album Peter York, suggested Griffin make an album of gospel songs. Griffin agreed on the condition that Buddy Miller, a friend and bandmate, produced the record. Downtown Church was recorded at the Downtown Presbyterian Church in Nashville with a 2010 release date. The album features long-time friends Buddy and Julie Miller, as well as Shawn Colvin and Emmylou Harris. It also includes songs by Hank Williams, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, and "All Creatures of Our God and King," a song accredited to St. Francis of Assisi.
