Heaven 60

I stumbled on a hillside, begging

for the answer to a dream where

I'd turned myself to stone...

And in the dream there was a girl,

she shook my hand, I said 'Hello'...

It folded as I crumbled...

I don't know why all the rains must

always fall into me. There are colors

in the sky we cannot see,

I do believe...

And she said,

Heaven is the only way to fade...

And so I told myself I'd have to find

my way across alone. There are no

reasons why...Just then the birds

that flew all took me in their wings

and then I knew;

Everything is surely something..

My father died never knowing what

it was, and it was plain...

It doesn't matter what you do or

what you say, just sense the pain...

And she said,

Heaven is the only way to fade...

So when I shut my eyes I cannot

wait for the replies from her. I'm

sure she'll understand...That after

all the time is gone I'll know I've

lived my life in full, as great as I

could be...

And in the dream the girl

reached out into the dream the girl

reached out into the night, we flew

away...I asked her if she had any

old regrets that made her stay...

And she said,

Heaven is the only way to fade...

(For my father, who died never knowing

what it was and it was plain)
