All your trouble will be over, so will your pain
you are gonna see those blue
skies bursting right through the rain
The higher you climb, the lower you
fall
You got too close to heaven, that's all
Now in the morning you
can cry all you want to
- we'll spend the whole day weeping
Right now I
want you to lay down your weary head
and let me see you sleeping
You've
been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed
feeling like you're one inch
tall
You got too close to heaven, that's all
You're way too hard on
yourself baby
- you got some pretty basic things wrong
You wouldn't
believe me if I told you why I wrote you into this song
You're looking at
your heart baby, and you're calling it black
but like Icarus and like
Saul
You got too close to heaven, that's all
Now I know this hurt
you're feeling - I've felt these same things too
I've got spaces way down
deep inside of me that are just the same as you
You wanna wrap your arms
around your head, turn out the lights
and roll yourself into a ball
You
got too close to heaven, that's all
Are you blinded by the brilliance
?
Are you dazzled by the Light ?
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in
your tired beaten eyes
that once were bright
I know you just can't help
but run when you hear that sweet voice call
You got too close to heaven,
that's all
I walked a mile for you baby
so won't you smile for me
baby ?
