Lyrics:

1964 teenage death song
Terry...
Terry...

He said to me he wanted to be near to me
He said he never wanted to be out of my sight
But it's too late to give this boy my love tonight
Please wait at the gate of Heaven for me, Terry (Terry...)

He said to me he wanted to be close by my side
We had a quarrel; I was untrue on the night he died
And it's too late to tell this boy how great he was
Please wait at the gate of Heaven for me, Terry (Terry...)

He rode into the night
Accelerated his motorbike
I cried to him in fright
'Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it!'

He said to me, 'You are the one I want to be with'
He said to me, 'You are the one whom my love I shall give'
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live
Please wait at the gate of Heaven for me, Terry (Terry...)

He rode into the night
Accelerated his motorbike
I cried to him in fright
'Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it!'

He said to me, 'You are the one I want to be with'
He said to me, 'You are the one whom my love I shall give'
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live
Please wait at the gate of Heaven for me, Terry (Terry...)
Terry (Terry...)
