Too Close to Heaven |
| 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? |
