Past the ivy-covered windows of

The Angel
Am Dm G (G*)
Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral
Am (G*)
Through the churchyard I wandered
Am Dm G
Sat for a spell there and I pondered
F G
My back to the gates
F G
My back to the gates
F G C (G*) Am
My back to the gates of the garden
Am
Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers
Dm G
Runaways and suicidal lovers
Am (G*)
Assorted boxes of ordinary bones
Am Dm G
Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes
F G
In unlucky rows
F G
ln unhappy rows
F G C F G
In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden
C G
Won't you meet me at the gates
C G
Won't you meet me at the gates
C G
Won't you meet me at the gates
C
To the garden
Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower
The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour
I turn to find you waiting there for me
In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning on the gates of the garden
Leave these ancient places to the angels
Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals
And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold
For God is in this hand that I hold
As we open up the gates of the garden
Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
To the garden
