The Bells were a Canadian rock band formed in 1965 in Montreal. The band had two hit singles in the early 1970s. Featuring South African natives Ann and Jackie Ralph as well as Cliff Edwards, Doug Gravelle and Gordie McLeod, the group started in 1965 as "The Five Bells". Cliff and Ann married in 1967 and when their first child was born Ann retired to raise their family on a hobby farm in Warkworth, Ontario. (From : Wiki)

Lyrics :
The little man was hungry, and they saw him as a tramp,
With a love note in his pocket, but no money for a stamp,
He just sits there in the doorway and he sings his lonely song,
Mumbling the cold out of his hands,
Watching the shadows weave and dance,
Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone.

He was me, he was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, what's his name,

Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time,
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain,

The painter tries to paint him,
And the poet, he tries to see,
I think he had a castle, in the man he used to be,
He just stuck to us a question,
Can you tell me what you've learned,
Nobody knows the truth he said,
Not till the book has all been read,
Follow the one you love, instead of the road,

He was me, he was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother what's his name,

Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time,
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain...,

He was me, he was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother what's his name,

Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time,
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain...,

Ain't it cold enough today, let it rain,
Ain't it cold enough today..., so let it rain...
