Eastern Gate

Boundaries of time and space, boundaries of fears
Boundaries of promises kept for all these years
Boundaries that keep me from the ones I long to know
But there is a boundless place where you and I will go

Save a thousand years in heaven for me, I will meet you there
Time for every gentle whisper, every answered prayer
Maybe time was just too short, or my needs were just too great
But I'll meet you just beyond the eastern gate

Each of us on different roads, seeking what is right
Not all things are possible in this lonely night
But the land of promises is coming into view
Land of love and timelessness that I can spend with you

Save a thousand years in heaven for me, I will meet you there
Time to mend each broken promise, time to really care
Maybe life was just too short, or I was just too late
But I'll meet you just beyond the eastern gate

Save a thousand years in heaven for me, I will meet you there
Time for every love requited, every answered prayer
Maybe time was just too short, or my needs were just too great
But I'll meet you just beyond the eastern gate

Maybe life was just too short, but I will not be late
I'll meet you just beyond the eastern gate
