Heaven's Gate SOCAN (c) Lana (Donnelly)Quinn
The dunes along this endless shore, have stood for centuries,
Where the sky, the sand, the sea, merge to blue infinity,
Watching the daylight fade, into sunset flames,
Watching the seasons change again and again.
In the glowing of a driftwood fire, the flames dance higher,
Sparkling water and star light, shimmer in the blue twilight,
Waking my soul, to a new desire,
That’s why I have come home to see your sunset fires.
Chorus:
Oh to spend my days, kissed by your salty spray,
Barefoot in the sand, is more than gold in my hand,
Lay me down on your shore, on this road to heaven’s door,
In the fading light I’ll wait, on the dunes at heaven’s gate.
The sea plays a farewell symphony, a majestic melody,
Over jeweled ocean foam, the gulls and the sea winds roam,
One day you and I, will be so free,
Soaring into that blue infinity.
Chorus:
Oh to spend my days, kissed by your salty spray,
Barefoot in the sand, is more than gold in my hand,
Lay me down on your shore, on this road to heaven’s door,
In the fading light I’ll wait, on the dunes at heaven’s gate.
