about

Recorded this track live at home, a single take on a stereo track playing acoustic guitar and singing. Later added the two other guitar tracks and bass. Are you always looking for a doorbell in the sky?

lyrics

Doorbell in the Sky
by Timothy Walsh

Never been here? Ever alone?
Never seem to compromise?
Always living in these idle days
with you always on my mind.

Chorus 1:
I don’t see it—these final-come places and
you don’t say why.
I don’t see it—these final-come places
or this doorbell in the sky….


I don’t see it—never at home.
Never seen you close your eyes.
Always sleeping through these idle days
with you dreaming through my mind.

Chorus 2:
Never idle? Never alone?
Can I sing you till I die?
Always searching for these final days,
for some doorbell in the sky….

Bridge:
I can tell it—you can see in my home.
There’s a pellet of something that grieves me and
I can smell it and I don’t want to be here….

Up in heaven—never alone—
Lounge chairs all the time.
Looking down upon these idle days
like partners in a crime.

Chorus 2: “Never idle? Never alone? etc.

After dinner…afternoon…
Hereafter on your mind,
galavanting through these idle days—
Afterlife you’ll never find.

Chorus 1: I don’t see it—these final-come places etc.

about

Penelope's Thrill Madison, Wisconsin

Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston.
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his songs, often pulling in other musicians for particular tracks.
