   Past the ivy-covered windows of
             (*)
   The Angel
                                     (*)
   Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral
                                   (*)
   Through the churchyard I wandered
   Sat for a spell there and I pondered
   My back to the gates
   My back to the gates
                                        (*) 
   My back to the gates    of the garden

   Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers
   Runaways and suicidal lovers
                                  (*)
   Assorted boxes of ordinary bones
   Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes
   In unlucky rows
   ln unhappy rows
   In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden

  Won't you meet me at the gates
  Won't you meet me at the gates
  Won't you meet me at the gates
  To the garden

Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower
The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour
I turn to find you waiting there for me
In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning on the gates of the garden

Leave these ancient places to the angels
Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals
And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold
For God is in this hand that I hold
As we open up the gates of the garden

Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
To the garden
