Swing Wide the Gates Songtext
von Raina Rose

I had silken sparrow wings
I hung on to the diesel train
Marrow clean of any words
Dripped from my lips only your name


I been strong as summer
I been weak as winter
Lost in the cross
And found as a sinner
Woman′s made to cry
Man is made to sin
Swing wide the gate
And come back in

Tiny child sweet sweat & dreams
Alseep against your momma's breast
Never more a fosterling
Come home carry your family′s crest

Oh mercy me, this ain't how it's supposed to be
Oh mercy me, it ain′t

Wildflowers weave in our front yard
Thistle thatched along the back
Honeybee see no change
No gain and no lack
