Lyrics
As Heaven is Wide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
CHORUS:
If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly
If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
And take its conscience with it as it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind, you broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind
CHORUS (1x)
I wish...I wish...I wish...I wish
Take it back, I dare you take it back
No you can't, you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong?
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word, I'll laugh and bury you
Leave you in the place where you left me
CHORUS (1x)
I wish I could fly
As angels can fly
