Background noise on a changing sky
Blacked out eyes saw the reason why
I still feel you in my heart's eye

Gateway of love
Gateway of love

Try to find the perfect time (perfect time)
To say something to you
Filled with need and filled with truth

But I'm just a drifting soul
With nothing much to say
Strong in the head
And bound to stay that way
I got almost everything except that little key
To the gateway of love
Gateway of love

Once I heard there's a place on high (there's a place)
Where angels spread their wings
And babies learn to fly
Once I heard there's a place on high

But I'd like to stay down here
And try to love someone
Caught in our life
While we watch the bouncing sun
I'd just like to hold her near
And bring her back to me
But the gateway of love
Gateway of love

Background noise on a changing sky (background noise)
You're making love to me
I still feel you in my heart's eye

If I could just live my lie
As easy as a song
I'd wake up someday
And the pain would all be gone
Help me now I'm sinking fast
I gotta get along
To the gateway of love
Gateway of love

Try to find the perfect time
To say some things to you (perfect time)
Filled with need and filled with truth

If I could just live my life
As easy as a song
I'd wake up someday
And the pain would all be gone
Help me now I'm sinking fast
I gotta get along
To the gateway of love
Gateway of love
