Rusting Gate Lyrics - Slingshot Professionals - Kelly Joe Phelps

Tried my hand at company, wine poured out for two 

Blue charade that I have made while lying next to you 

Take the next thing home, my dear, leave me to my ways 

The only clothes that seem to fit are the ones that walk away 

Are the ones that walk away 

In the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight 

Is always worth the setting earth around the rusting gate 

The chain falls off, the hinges squeak 

Corners that call are not for the meek 

So go away, ah, go away 

The cut that bleeds incessantly will never be stopped by aid 

Eyes that peal like church bells feel like body prints you made 

In the bed of hope, my dear, I'll give that, I will try 

To hold myself in honor 'til you have to say goodbye 

'Til you have to say goodbye 

In the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight 

Is always worth the setting earth around the rusting gate 

The chain falls off, the hinges squeak 

The corners that call are not for the meek 

Oh, go away, ah, go away 

A laughing world in all it's strife smiles from tongue to ear 

A nickel for another wife, a hundred for a year 

Take the first thing going south, don't wait around to crack 

A frozen vase in a parking space will never bring me back 

Ah, will never bring me back, ah, will never bring me back 

In the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight 

Is always worth the setting earth around the rusting gate 

The chain falls off, the hinges squeak 

Corners that call are not for the meek 

So go away, ah, go away
