Lock All the Gates

Lyrics

By snowy fields and lanes, she keeps the waiting
 In candlelight the sacred alter shines
 He suckled the young lambs upon his knee
 Givin' the weary sleep in peace
 But he read the stars inside her dream
 But he was blind
 He read the stars inside her dream
 But he was blind
 Of winter's love for spring, she kept the vision
 Sweet chariots aflame against the sky
 He played on the harp, sweet melody
 Children and emperors came to see
 And he drove the dragons into the night
 But he was blind
 He drove the dragons into the night
 But he was blind
 So lock all the gates and bolt the chamber door
 Because nobody leaves or enters anymore
 And lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Would you lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
 Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber
 Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
 Come, come, come, come
 Come, come, come, come
 Somebody come and lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
 Nobody leaves or enters anymore
 No, no, no, no, no
 By snowy fields and lanes she keeps the waiting
 In candlelight the sacred alter shines
 He suckled the young lambs upon his knee
 He bid the weary sleep in peace
 He read the stars inside her dream
 But he was blind
 He read the stars inside her dream
 But he was blind
 He read the stars inside her dream, dream
 But the man was blind, he was blind
