lyrics

The Secret Gate

Found a dead bird
Lying underneath the tree
I wonder why I
Was suppose to see
The evidence of
Another life gone by
Heaven doesn’t mind
As long as the others still fly

It has escaped
Thru the secret gate

Henry’s problems
Have gotten worse
His drinking has
Become a curse
Tripping over thresholds
Slapping his wife
All his reading
Hasn’t improved his life

He has escaped
Thru the secret gate

Autumn comes to
Mourn it all
I guess that’s why
It’s called the fall
Mankind has
lost It’s wings
And it’s divine
Innocence

It has escaped
Thru the secret gate

Ellie’s sleeping
With eyes shut tight
In her room
Shines a little light
As she’s afraid
Of the long dark night
See her softly breathing
She’s doing allright

She has escaped
Thru the secret gate
