Lock All the Gates - Al Jarreau

By snowy fields and lanes, she keeps the waiting

In candlelight the sacred alter shines

He suckled the young lambs upon his knee

Givin' the weary sleep in peace

But he read the stars inside her dream

But he was blind

He read the stars inside her dream

But he was blind

Of winter’s love for spring, she kept the vision

Sweet chariots aflame against the sky

He played on the harp, sweet melody

Children and emperors came to see

And he drove the dragons into the night

But he was blind

He drove the dragons into the night

But he was blind

So lock all the gates and bolt the chamber door

Because nobody leaves or enters anymore

And lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Would you lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber

Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber

Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber

Come, come, come, come

Come, come, come, come

Somebody come and lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber

Nobody leaves or enters anymore

No, no, no, no, no By snowy fields and lanes she keeps the waiting

In candlelight the sacred alter shines

He suckled the young lambs upon his knee

He bid the weary sleep in peace

He read the stars inside her dream

But he was blind

He read the stars inside her dream

But he was blind

He read the stars inside her dream, dream

But the man was blind, he was blind
