Ron Sexsmith - Man at the Gate (1913) Тексты

The man at the gate
Seems to be waiting
For someone or something
To enter the scene

The man at the gate
Appears in the distance
To prove his existence
In 1913

With the man at the gate
There is no way of knowing
If he's coming or going
He's caught in between

The man at the gate
It appears at a distance
Could use some assistance
In 1913

His silhouette has been captured unknowingly
Trapped in a postcard for all eternity

This photograph from the turn of the century
Snapped by a photog at a moment in history

The man at the gate
Stands like a statue
Not somebody that you
Would notice it seems

The man at the gate
He was living and well once
At Trinity Bellwoods
In 1913
