Gates of Heaven Lyrics


Good morning good morning a new day begins
Hoping and praying this is not the end
I thought I heard the gates of heaven close
I thought I heard God’s voice saying no
Everyday I’m walking back and forth along the floor
Visions disturb me I can’t think clear no more
I’m thinking I’m gonna die alone
I’m thinking I ain’t ever going home
I spend all my time alone and my thoughts change what I see
I’ve been so long with myself that I’m all I even dream
Reality is gone from my sight
My own mind has hidden all the light
Rain falls lightly on my window and I hear the steady sound
My tears strike the floor with a force that’s surely profound
But I thought I heard the gates of heaven close

I thought I heard God’s voice saying no
But today I saw a light appear in the corner of my room
I thought maybe an angel came to save me from my gloom
I’m hanging on to anything I can
I’m hoping that straws can hold a man
Then my lover’s voice calls to me its faint and hard to hear
I strain my ears to listen but no sound is louder than my fear
I wish I could believe what you say
I wish I could stop crying and be brave
I think I could believe what you say
I see myself in your eyes the way I used to be
Maybe stronger that’s a dream I hope to see
I’ll let you in and try one more time
I’ll search the horizon for a sign
I’ll search the horizon for a sign

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

After seven years of touring and writing with Nashville based outfit The War, Daniel Levi Goans recorded Choice Cannonballs in the heat and humidity of a North Carolina summer in the very basement where he discovered his love for playing music as a child. His early explorations of the piano evolved into an attempt to capture the rich tradition of American folk. The songs are stripped down tributes to the folk storytelling tradition with sparse soundscapes that evoke the feverish density of the summer in which it was recorded.
