Gates To The Garden Lyrics - No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Past the ivy-covered windows of 

The Angel 

Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral 

Through the churchyard I wandered 

Sat for a spell there and I pondered 

My back to the gates of the garden 

My back to the gates of the garden 

My back to the gates of the garden 

Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers 

Runaways and suicidal lovers 

Assorted boxes of ordinary bones 

Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes 

In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden 

In unhappy rows, up to the gates of the garden 

In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

To the garden 

Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower 

The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour 

I turn to find you waiting there for me 

In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe 

Alive and leaning on the gates of the garden 

Alive and leaning on the gates of the garden 

Alive and leaning on the gates of the garden 

Leave these ancient places to the angels 

Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals 

And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold 

For God is in this hand that I hold 

As we open up the gates of the garden 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

Won't you meet me at the gates 

To the garden
