The bells played an Angelus
And the whole world stood still
As I walked out on the main street
Leaving all that might have been
And I cursed the silver needle
As I cursed the powers that be
And I curse the bloody bigotry
That has stolen the sacred key
I am still in love
I am still in love
I am still in love
So very much in love
And the bells played for Gandhi
And for Martin Luther King
And a thousand more since Jesus Christ
As if we’ll remember them
And the bells played an Angelus
And the whole world stood still
She was wrapped up snug on Main Street
Melting Armageddon’s chill
I am still in love
I am still in love
I am still in love
So very much in love
