I saw you in the reeds by the river Looked to me like you were having fun Can't decide if I was only dreaming I know you'll tell me all when I come I'm passing through the pearly gates I don't know why I feel so good I'm entering a far better place They tell me it's the land of love I wish that you'd been there To see the horses You would not believe how they danced The meadow seemed on fire With their playing And me I just stood there entranced I'm passing through the pearly gates I don't know why I feel so good I'm entering a far better place 'Cos I'm living in the land of love And if I do ever find What it is that you seek You can bet that I'll keep you informed It's only just after all 'Cause in times of unease You were always on hand to keep me warm A woman sits and stares into the distance Her hands sitting pretty on her knees She gazes on the view before her She wonders what goes on behind the trees There's so much going on behind the trees She's passing through the pearly gates She can't say why she feels this good She's entering a far better place She's living in the land of love An angel in the land of love She's so happy in the land of love Let's go to the land of love
