Meet Me by the Gates

When this feeling of dread has finally gone
And the confusion has turned its enemies out
You might just meet me, meet me by the gates

And when I know better my restless mind
And all the mists have finally all cleared out
You will hopefully meet me, meet me by the gates

And when the open space has finally taken
And I tentatively feel like speaking again
Will you think to meet me, meet by the gates?

(When this feeling of dread has finally gone)

And if I could just wilfully help myself
And just as patiently give a second thought
Would you still want to meet me, meet me by the gates?

When I fearfully think that you will leave
And are making all these plans for getting away
You might just hate to meet me, meet me by the gates

When the mad girl’s love is too much to take
And when the shutters go down and the world doesn't die
Maybe you will bewitch me, and meet me by the gates

And when the emerald greens are blinding the senses
And the blackness of the dark is barking again
You might not want to meet me, meet me by the gates

When the fire burns clean the dirt in my eyes
And we don't pretend like it doesn't exist
Will you still want to meet me, meet me by the gates?
