lyrics

Open Gate

Through the open gate every last one walked.

Is it fleece or fame that stops the clock?

So we made a circle keeping an eye on the fox.

When everybody starts running the weak get lost.

(Out in the open space, gently I dropped my name)

The herd made their great escape

and the home that they left behind

just dried up and blew away.

No one saw the warning signs

Through the open gate every last one walked.

I left everything I owned in a neat little pile.

When the ground was shaking we were sure we’d won.

Never a fleeting thought on what we’d done.

(Right then my heart got soft, but still it broke apart)

The herd made their great escape

and the home that they left behind

just dried up and blew away.

No one saw the warning signs
