"Friendly Gates" lyrics

Carlene Carter Lyrics

"Friendly Gates"

I keep puttin' off my letters hopin' tomorrow will bring better news
Of what's to come my darlin'
I know it's so hard for you to sit while I try and do
The things I am, I'm not a man

So I'll kick up the dust
While I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin' all the time that I'm just
Walkin' toward those friendly gates I trust

I keep prayin' every night that the land I have in sight won't be gone
When the mornin' comes
For the faith you placed in me is all the ground there needs to be for everything
I've ever dreamed

So I'll kick up the dust
While I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin' all the time that I'm just
Walkin' toward those friendly gates I trust

The feelin' that I get from the candles you have lit
In my lonely mind I've got to find
For me to give up now would be the only reasons how I could
Never live the way I wanna live

So I'll kick up the dust
While I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin' all the time that I'm just
Walkin' toward those friendly gates I trust
Walkin towards those friendly gates I trust
