Hey buddy, that sounds good to me

Hey buddy, that sounds good to me

On this day the sun won't shine and the moon won't rise

Hey buddy, that sounds good

Read it in the newspaper

Saw it on the tube

You sent a message that the time for me is through

A man came from above

Said have you had enough

I said open up those gates for me

Hey buddy I'll walk those stairs with you

That sounds pretty good, that sounds damn good

At my final waking moment you better believe it

I'll sing along

I'll sing along

Hey where you go I'll follow

Read it in the newspaper

Saw it on the tube

You sent a message that the time for me is through

I saw my father die

He laughed and waved goodbye

He said open up

Open up

Open up those gates for me
