You Stole My Bell - Soundtrack Version

Lyrics

There is a place
 Underneath the staircase
 Where I keep the evidence
 Of what once would offer peace
 In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
 Should I pick the locks?
 Should I peek inside?
 Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
 Should I strike a match, burn them all away?
 Cos you stole my bell
 And you broke my chime
 And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
 There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
 But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you So here we are
 But it's not quite like we thought
 Those things were priceless then
 Now I know they can't be bought
 In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
 Should I lift the lid?
 Should I look within?
 Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
 Is it just a step that we'll never take?
 Cos you stole my bell
 And you broke my chime
 And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
 There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
 But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
