At the pearly gates
Matthew rundle 1982 (Leongatha)
At the pearly gates
is where their baby waits
an angel lost to time
never to reach their prime
their baby was so sick
a life taken far to Quick
illness, treatments, remedies
and no amount of saying please
could bring you back to life
parents cry both day and night
At the pearly gates
That's where their baby waits.
