The Gate

Album: Sam Roberts Durasi: 5:58
[01:19.72]Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
[01:25.75]And for sixty days I knew no other road
[01:32.42]And through the maelstrom, we turned in time with the kick drum
[01:38.56]I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on the coast
[01:45.00]And in this place there stands a gate
[01:47.99]That leads to the heart of the city
[01:50.95]And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears
[01:54.38]In this broken mirror of a city
[01:57.49]Listen to the streets, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
[02:02.05]Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
[02:07.54]And I remember feeling alright
[02:13.04]And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds
[02:16.15]And it smelled of a faded empire
[02:19.24]It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel
[02:22.58]And the mayor's just a gun for hire
[02:25.84]Listen to the streets
[02:27.01]There's a heartbeat missing in the city
[02:32.27]Listen to the sound
[02:33.52]There's a time bomb ticking in the city
[02:44.62]I've heard the song, the morning sings
[02:47.24]Outside the gate is everything
[02:50.46]"Let in the light, let in the light"
[02:53.37]Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history
[02:59.19]She has the key, she has the key
[03:02.98]Sweet sunlight, well, I can see it in my mind's eye
[03:08.12]Let in the light, let in the light
[03:24.12]Waking up from a dream
[03:29.68]Where I was the stone and you were the stream
[03:36.18]And Chemical City isn't all that you need
[03:42.30]But it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
[03:49.90]Listen to the streets
[03:50.86]There's a heartbeat missing in the city
[03:55.93]Listen to the sound
[03:57.16]There's a time bomb ticking in the city
[04:06.12]Let in the light, let in the light
[04:08.75]I said this place is an unnatural disaster
[04:11.85]And I'm a visitor here so I asked her
[04:14.58]"Where are the trees, where are the trees?"
[04:19.47]And she said, "Free yourself from history
[04:24.06]That is the key, that is the key"
[04:26.77]Sweet sunlight but I can see it in my mind's eye
[04:32.16]I see the light, I see the light
[04:47.52]The gate is gone now, you better run
[04:50.51]The gate is gone now, you better run
[04:53.55]The gate is gone now, you better run
[04:56.44]The gate is gone now, you better run
[04:59.48]Can you feel it?
[05:01.15]There's a heartbeat missing in the city
[05:03.99]Yeah, there's a heartbeat missing in the city
[05:06.72]When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity
[05:10.08]There's a heartbeat missing
[05:11.63]The gate is gone so you better run
[05:14.79]You better run, run, run, run
[05:17.95]You better run, run, run, run
[05:20.83]You better run
[05:52.37]🎵
