Lyrics

WHEN THESE GATES COME CRASHING DOWN

When These Gates Comes Crashing Down
Like they always seem to do
And I?m left alone outside
With my lonely love for you

Time just ceases to exist
And the words don?t mean a thing
Cause they won?t turn you around
When These Gates Come Crashing Down

So, tell me how you hate me
Curse me for the change.
The change I put you through
The changes in me too
When These Gates Come Crashing Down

Now I?m standing at our door
I keep staring at the floor
It?s like I?m rooted to this place
And you won?t look me in the face.

Did I hear somebody say
?Where there?s love, there is a way?
If you even have to ask
It doesn?t matter what I say

Cause When These Gates Come Crashing Down
There will be no other sound
So give your burning heart a rest
I?ll stop pounding on my chest.

There?s a hunger in the air
For forgiveness that will never be there
There?s no turning you around
When These Gates Come Crashing Down



So tell me what to do now
Cause I can?t hang around
And I cannot break through
And I can?t look at you
When These Gates Come Crashing Down

Now I?m remembering your smile
And a song we used to sing
But there?s anger in your eyes
Not the comfort they used to bring

There?s a hunger in the air
For forgiveness that isn?t there
There?s no turning back around
When These Gates Come Crashing Down
When These Gates Come Crashing Down
