Michael Martin Murphey Ring Of Truth Lyrics

Blue eyes Like a sailor's dream
Laughter clear like a runnin' stream
Warm, sincere and serene
That's the way our lovin' seemed
Musta been about sixteen
We didn't know anything
The first time we heard the ring of truth

[Chorus]
The 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
and heard a ring of truth

Then I saw it the spring moonrise
ring around rings making circles in the skies heard it in her voice, saw it in her eyes
suddenly I realized
love's a pendulum in swing
your heart doesn't know a thing
until it strikes the ring of truth

[Chorus]

Now you ask me would I go
back to her? The answer's no
That it was a long time ago
She taught me all I needed to know
But somtimes when I dream
I can swear I hear the running stream
I can swear I hear the ring of truth

[Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]
