Black Label Society Gates Of The Country Lyrics

Gates Of The Country Lyrics

april. back in new york.

the 31st floor.

it seems somehow
everything's changed.

the kitchen too small.

plates on the wall.

the sound of machinery.

may.

where have you been?

who were
you running with?

wasn't he someone you used to call home?

where is
the ring?

where is the boy

who went traveling alone?

she is
much better without me.

she walks

through the gates of the
country.

hands at her side.

and i smile as i watch her walk by.

somehow i see there are ships in her eyes.

she is better off now.

june.

the curtain is shut.

the patterns are cut.

the maid
who will wake you at dawn.

pulls out a chair.

pulls down your
hair.

it's just like you wanted.

july.

what's going on.

what are you running from.

why are you sleeping alone on the floor.

some people change.

others hang on till they can't anymore.

she
is much better without me.

she walks through the gates of the country.

hands in the air.

and i smile as i watch her walk by.

somehow i
see there are ships in her eyes.

she is much better now.
