Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
The future is a fickle friend
Its deceptively fleeting
Every breath we take
Is one not for repeating
Time is like a mountain stream
Trickling at the beginning
Before the water starts to grow
Until it reaches its full flow
And you finally realise it's winning
We met in 84
What a vintage year
We swore undying love
And to be fair were still here
We met everyday
At that same country gate
My heart would soar
Like never before
It was always worth the wait
Whatever our eventual fate
We will meet again at the gate
However long we have to wait
We will meet again at the gate
Dont morn my demise
When this old carcass dies
My body may burn to ash
But my spirit will rise
Destined to be together
In this life and beyond
To confirm the date
We'll meet at the gate
Even death can' t break our bond
Whatever our eventual fate,
We will meet again at the gate
However long we have to wait
We'll meet again at the gate
When we draw our final breath
There is no need to despair
We will be reunited
I promise to meet you there
Our love will run free
Together for eternity
Whatever our eventual fate,
We will meet again at the gate
However long we have to wait
We will meet again at the gate
Wait at the gate
Wait at the gate
We will meet again at the gate
Excellent lyrics & melody, great songwriting!
