AT THE GATE
words & music by chris block

lyrics

hands are weak and body frail
forty years to get this far
now it seems that no one cares
hey Vince, you never said it was gonna this hard

here you are, the gate has shut
you’re just an audience of one
a few old friends, they have you pegged
well, I guess he’s not hurting anyone

don’t let your heroes grow up to be mortal
don’t ever lose that restless sea
if you do, you just might find
what it was, was never meant to be

even now your time is short
your future’s set as it can be
paths are down to just a few
you know, it seemed like a good idea at the time!

don’t let your idols lose their luster
but you gotta see right through that sheen
don’t look too hard or you might just see
a reflection of of who you might have been
