Lyrics
Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long-winded curses
I hear in my head

The words never listen
And teachers, oh they never learn
My warmth from the candle
Though I feel too cold to burn

He came from an island
Then he died from the street
And he hurt so bad like a soul breakin'
But he never said nothin' to me, yeah

A'say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven, yeah

New like a baby, lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold girl was your bed

Ooh, I said, poor Stargazer
She's got no tears in her eyes
But fool like a whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time

Now it seem like too much love is
Never enough, yeah, you better
Seek out another road 'cause this one has ended abrupt, oh

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven, yeah

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven, oh oh
(Heaven)
(Heaven)
(Heaven)

I, I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we'll never do

Yea, so I blow out, out the candle and I put you to bed
Since you can't say to me now
How the dog broke your bone
There's just one thing left to be said

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven, yeah
Say hello to heaven, to heaven, yeah yeah oh oh
