Gates Of The Country

[Verse 1]
April, back in New York
The 31st floor
It seems somehow everything's changed
The kitchen too small
Plates on the wall
The sound of machinery

[Verse 2]
May, where have you been?
Who were you running with?
Wasn't he someone you used to call home?
Where is the ring?
Where is the boy who went traveling alone?

[Chorus]
She is much better without me
She walks through the gates of the country
Hands at her side
And I smile as I watch her walk by
Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes
Yeah, she is better off now

[Verse 3]
June, the curtain is shut
The patterns are cut
The maid who will wake you at dawn
Pulls out a chair
Pulls down your hair
It's just like you wanted

[Verse 4]
July, what's going on
What are you running from
Why are you sleeping alone on the floor
Some people change
Others hang on till they can't anymore

[Chorus]
She is much better without me
She walks through the gates of the country
Her hands at her side
And I smile as I watch her walk by
Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes
Yeah, she is better off now

[Chorus]
Well, she is much better without me
She walks through the gates of the country
Her hands in the air
And I smile as I watch her walk by
Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes
Yeah, she is much better now
