The Gates Lyrics by Caleb Caudle

Forsythia

0

[Verse 1]
Blue-winged bird, lead me down the river
Show me something you've never shown
Like the train will trust the trestle
I'll bellow my homeward song
[Verse 2]
Mama warned me about the man
Eyes of coal and a wide-brimmed hat
Sometimes I won't sleep for days
We won't talk about that
[Chorus]
There's a road crooked and wide
Badland Canyons, Satan's spine
Hell within, hell outside
I've seen the gates
And they're open wide
[Verse 3]
Thе coat I brought is soaking wet
From my shoulders, it hung with shame
Oldеr now with deep regrets
Ain't nobody else to blame
[Verse 4]
Three black cats in my path
Screaming like some ol' deathly choir
Older now and I can't turn back
I'm gonna keep on getting higher
[Chorus]
There's a road crooked and wide
Badland Canyons, Satan's spine
Hell within, hell outside
I've seen the gates
And they're open wide
[Outro]
Wake alone and I count to seven
Doll of sticks under a sycamore tree
Beg of you on the road to Heaven
Tell one last story to me
