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?

Wasnt he someone you used to call home?

Where is
the ring?

Where is the boy who went travelling alone?



She is
much better without me.

She walks through the gates of the country

Her 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

Its just like you wanted

July

Whats 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
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.



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 yeah

She is much better now.
