Bethlehems Gate Lyrics

There was a night

As purple as this

With a love so close

We longed to be missed

Summer '89

And everything stood

Sure and free and there

To be finished

I long to be there

As bright as the sky

At Bethlehem's gate

September again

You come so quick

So sudden your strength

So strong your kiss

The world groans and strains

For the hope of a time

Like a prayer that

Is wished and willedDeacon Blue - Bethlehems Gate - http://motolyrics.com/deacon-blue/bethlehems-gate-lyrics.html

To exist

Like knocking so hard

And trying to get through

To Bethlehem's gate

I'm chiding the heart

That the body will live

To question the power

And the gift of birth

To stand and grow and die

On the wasteland

That scorns the high temples

We build

And stand in the way

And darken the sky

At Bethlehem's gate

Stand in the way

And darken the sky

At Bethlehem's gate
