The Closing Door

The closing door
The end of people
His likes no more
Go tell it in the steeple
The river runs
Out of fever
Just like a drum
With no meter
Oh
The closing door
The blue eyed raven
You'll send no more
Above the congregation
Like Noah's dove
Where there's burden
Above the mighty flood
Won't be returning
Oh, oh
To the closing door
