Heaven’s Gate (Letra)

Toni Childs

Toni Childs

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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
"i’ll never leave, leave your side"

Oh the madness
This town thinks i’m mad
Sixty years, has it been a dream
This man i’m haunted by, i see

I’m 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 eternal’s way
We’re waltzing into heaven’s gate

Heaven’s Gate (Letra)

As midnight draws its steely shades
And the boystown girls go on parade
My tattoo she’s a kiss away
In the creole town it’s another day
Tears of rage and tears of pain
We’re two lovers called ‘em different ways
No redemption no remorse
But this love drives a deadly course

* i can’t wait for you
Heaven’s gate won’t wait
I can’t wait for you
‘cause heaven’s gate won’t wait

So hold me close, don’t let go
With one last kiss, we’ll never know
What should have, could have, might have been
We’re just chasin’ one more dream
I can hear the mardi gras
From my hotel window it seems to far
As daylight creeps through the shades
I can see the price we paid

* repeat

[instrumental]

* repeat twice
