Meet Me at the Gates

Breathe in softly, take my hand

We're saying goodbye but this is not the end

Your body's sinking, oh my soul

I'll see you on the other side when it is my turn

The sky will open up

I've waited long to feel your touch

So meet me at the gates

and wash these tears away

On this morning the music ends

I'm down on my knees by your hospital bed

So how can i live when i'm watching you die?

I'll see you on the other side when it is my turn

Every breath i take like i can't escape

and i'm too afraid

Of letting go of you

I found the secret

To wash away

All this sadness
