The Gate



      Well I'm tired of this, baby
      Ain't you tired too
      We might as well admit
      We bit too much to chew
      ???
      Before it's too late, baby
      They say the longer you wait
      The tighter shut is the gate

      We got nothing much in common
      But it's just as well
      Never intertwined
      We was just parallel
      We just didn't gel
      Let's dissipate baby
      The say the longer you wait
      The tighter shut is the gate

      Well now I just wanted peace and quiet
      I stayed out of trouble
      Every time I bit my tongue
      My heartache doubled
      Now this ain't as hard to figure
      Out as a jigsaw puzzle
      I can't find a reason now
      To keep this thing muzzled

      Well now my resolve's been waitin'
      For several years straight
      It's not that I won't miss you
      But I just can't wait to celebrate
      And I go wanderin', baby
      They say the longer you wait
      The tighter shut is the gate
      Tighter shut now
