Gates Of The Country Lyrics - Your Body Above Me - Black Lab

April, back in New York, the thirty first floor 

It seems somehow every thing's changed 

The kitchen too small, plates on the wall 

The sound of machinery 

May, where have you been? Who were you running with? 

Wasn't he someone you used to call home? 

Where is the ring? Where is the boy who went traveling alone? 

She's much better without me 

She walks through the gates of the country, her hands at her side 

And I smile as I watch her walk by 

Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes, yeah, she is better off now 

June, the curtain is shut, the patterns are cut 

The maid who will wake you at dawn 

Pulls out a chair, pulls down your hair 

It's just like you wanted 

July, what's going on? What are you running from? 

Why are you sleeping alone on the floor? 

Some people change, others hang on till they can't anymore 

She's much better without me 

She walks through the gates of the country, her hands at her side 

And I smile as I watch her walk by 

And somehow I see there are ships in her eyes, yeah, she is better off now 

[Incomprehensible] she's much better without me 

She walks through the gates of the country, her hands in the air 

And I smile as I watch her walk by 

Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes, yeah, she is better off now
