Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I keep hearing in my head
Words never listen
And teachers they never learn
But I'm warm from the candle
Though I feel too cold to burn
[Verse 2]
He came from an island
And he died from the street
And he hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me
[Verse 3]
So say hello to heaven
Heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven
Heaven, heaven
[Verse 4]
New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer
She's got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like a whisper
She knows love heals all wounds with time
[Verse 5]
Now it seems like too much love is never enough
Yeah, you better seek out another road
'Cause this one has ended abrupt
[Verse 6]
Say hello to heaven
Heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven
Heaven, heaven
Say hello to heaven
Heaven, heaven
[Verse 7]
I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we'll never do
So I blow 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
[Verse 8]
Say hello to heaven
To heaven, yeah
Say hello to heaven
To heaven, yeah
[Verse 9]
Say hello to heaven
To heaven, yeah
Say hello to heaven
To heaven, yeah
