Gatekeeper Lyrics

Well, it's time to begin as the summer sets in
It's the scene you set for new lovers
You play your part, painting in a new start
But each gate will open another

June, July and August said
"It's probably hard to plan ahead"
June, July and August said
"It's better to bask in each others"

Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper, you held your breath
Made the summer go on and on

Well, they tried to stay in from the cold and wind
Making love and making their dinner
Only to find that the love
That they grew in the summer froze

February, April said
"Don't be fooled by the summer again"
February, April said
"That half of the year, well, we'll never be friends"

Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper, you held your breath
Made the winter go on and on
Gatekeeper, gatekeeper
Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
