Gerry Rafferty - Standing at the Gates lyrics
Well the jury found you guilty, as you stare into a world that's without love But you keep a wall around you, and you wait for help to come down from above Now the wisdom of your ways has finally caught you up, and left you to your fate So you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates. Now the truth is slowly dawning, but you don't get any warning here within And you swear that you can change your ways, you promise that tomorrow you'll begin But the phases of the moon still come and go, and now you've left it much too late So you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates. All aboard the roundabout like the biggest fool you've ever seen And all the time you know what's comin' down (it's comin' down) Up and down on the roundabout while you're sittin' right on dynamite And any fool can see what's comin' down. You can run with the wind, you can laugh at the rain, and pretend It's just some bad weather There's a storm comin' up, and it's headin' your way. Now the spirit doesn't move you, you're so empty, you've got nothin' left to give Yes you know by now that nothin' you have ever learned has taught you how to live But the phases of the moon still come and go, and now you've left it much too late So you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates. All aboard the roundabout like the biggest fool you've ever seen And all the time you know what's comin' down (it's comin' down) Up and down on the roundabout while you're sittin' right on dynamite And any fool can see what's comin' down. You can run with the wind, you can laugh at the rain, and pretend It's just some bad weather There's a storm comin' up, and it's headin' your way. Well the jury found you guilty, as you stare into a world that's without love Yes you keep a wall around you, and you wait for help to come down from above Now the wisdom of your ways has finally caught you up, and left you to your fate So you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates. Yes you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates Yes you end up like a refugee, all alone and standin' at the gates.
