The Gate - Sam Roberts

The Gate LRC歌词

[01:20.48]Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand

[01:25.85]And for sixty days I knew no other road

[01:29.10]

[01:32.46]And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum

[01:39.39]I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast

[01:42.14]

[01:45.07]And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city

[01:51.00]And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city

[01:56.37]

[01:57.80]Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[02:00.44]

[02:01.82]Sweet sunlight,well I can see it in my mind's eye

[02:06.87]

[02:07.55]Yeah I remember feeling alright

[02:08.10]

[02:13.03]And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire

[02:18.71]

[02:19.40]It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire

[02:25.26]

[02:26.26]Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[02:29.45]

[02:32.56]Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city

[02:37.06]

[02:44.54]I've heard the song the morning sings

[02:46.60]

[02:47.66]Outside the gate is everything

[02:49.79]

[02:50.65]Let in the light! Let in the light!

[02:52.84]

[02:53.65]Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history

[02:58.21]

[02:59.52]She has the key she has the key

[03:01.39]

[03:02.64]Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye

[03:07.63]

[03:08.32]Let in the light! Let in the light!

[03:10.38]

[03:33.82]Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream

[03:39.08]

[03:40.01]Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key

[03:47.62]

[03:49.99]Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[03:52.74]

[03:56.30]Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city

[03:59.13]

[04:09.54]I said this place is an unnatural disaster

[04:11.96]And I'm a visitor here so I asked her

[04:14.39]

[04:15.51]Where are the trees, where are the trees?

[04:17.58]

[04:19.27]And she said free yourself from history

[04:23.65]That is the key! That is the key!

[04:25.26]

[04:26.64]Sweet sunlight, well I can see it in my mind's eye

[04:31.82]

[04:32.76]I see the light! I see the light!

[04:34.45]

[04:47.48]The gate is gone now, you better run

[04:49.02]

[04:57.35]Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city

[05:03.40]

[05:03.97]When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity

[05:06.65]

[05:07.21]You better run, run run run...
