Heaven's Gate

Sad eyes stretch shadows out of shape
Search in vain for some means of escape
From your heart
As the night falls into despair
And the time crawls

I want you to hold me
Open heaven's gate

Sad eyes search for silhouettes, a sign
For a lifeline to your heart
As the dawn breaks down into tears
And your mind aches

I want you to hold me
Open heaven's gate
I want you to hold it open
Don't make me wait
At heaven's gate

As the day breaks into a smile
It's been a long while

I want you to hold me
Open heaven's gate
I want you to hold it open
It's not too late
Don't make me wait
At heaven's gate
