Richard Thompson – Shaking The Gates lyrics
[Verse 1]
If angels are real then who needs dreams?
I think I'll never close my eyes again
If my feet betray me lock the door
My heart may never be this wise again

[Chorus]
I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell

[Bridge]
I used to hold the world, it turned to gold
Now everything that moved me has grown cold

[Verse 2]
If life is forever then I'm your man
Devil was inclined to [pine away?]
Echoes and shadows are my [wall?]
All I've done is lead myself astray

[Chorus]
I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell

[Verse 1]
If angels are real then who needs dreams?
I think I'll never close my eyes again

[Chorus]
I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell
I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell
