Jay-z - Here Without You (Remix) lyrics

(Ford,Ehmig)

She runs through the streets, so desperately young

Her eyes aflame, and her mind undone

She aches for the songs, that will never be sung

And the heroes so quickly forgotten

She sees a friend, in the church yard light

Laughing and joking and talking to the sky

Shots ring out, and he hits the ground

He never opens his eyes

And she cries

*Heaven is closed to the angels below

Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow

God only knows what happens to love

When the innocence is gone

And the war of the angels has begun

The ghosts in her head, have faces and names

They´re soldiers and children, all one in the same

In the streets and the alleys, hear the battle cries sound

And the angels run for cover

As the world comes tumbling down

All through the night the battle is fought

They can never win back the lives they´ve lost

Down on her knees, in the tear stained dawn

She just closes her eyes and whispers goodbye

*chorus

Another day in the neighborhood

Better dry your eyes and be off to school

She packs her lunch and her daddy´s gun

Seems much too old to be so young

The battle begins the day that you´re born

Into this world, so heartsick and war torn

Somebody better come and carry her away

Maybe this angel will live...

To fly again someday

*chorus
