Heavens Gate — текст песни (Toni Childs)

A man I met in my youth

Came to me in the light of truth

A beautiful dream that was

Till he died one rainy fall

There I was a child bride

Widowed at ninteen, defied

Never would I let him go

Go to the place that heaven knows



On the evening of his death

My shoulders felt a brushing breath

Cold were his hands on my breast

The man that I loved and put to rest

He came to me and held me close

We danced til dawn in the early snow

There I felt him cry and cry

"ill never leave, leave your side"



Oh the madness

This town thinks Im mad

Sixty years, has it been a dream

This man Im haunted by, I see



Im eighty years and on my bed

Awaiting death, that final breath

He sits by and looks to me

"soon you will come and be with me"

Now I feel all warm inside

As I leave this mortal body behind

Seems it is eternals way

Were waltzing into heavens gate
