Shaking the Gates

Richard Thompson

If angels are real then who needs dreams?
I think I'll never close my eyes again
If my feet betray me lock the door
My heart may never be this wise again

I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell

I used to hold the world, it turned to gold
Now everything that moved me has grown cold

If life is forever then I'm your man
Devil was inclined to [?]
Echoes and shadows are my [?]
All I've done is lead myself astray

I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell

If angels are real then who needs dreams?
I think I'll never close my eyes again

I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell
I'm shaking
I'm shaking
I'm shaking the gates of hell
