My back to the gates of the garden

Am Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers

Runaways and suicidal lDmovers G

Assorted boxes of ordinary bones

Am Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hDmopes G

In unlucky rFows G

ln unhappy rFows G

In unlucky rFows, up to the gGates of the gCarden F G

Won't you mCeet me at the gGates

Won't you mCeet me at the gGates

Won't you mCeet me at the gGates

To the gCarden

Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower

The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour

I turn to find you waiting there for me

In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe

Allve and leaning

Allve and leaning

Allve and leaning on the gates of the garden

Leave these ancient places to the angels

Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals

And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold

For God is in this hand that I hold

As we open up the gates of the garden
