Temple of The Dog - Say Hello To Heaven lyrics

-------------------

Please, mother mercy

Take me from this place

And the long winded curses

I keep hearing in my head

Words never listen

And teachers never learn

Now I'm warm from the candle

But I feel too cold to burn

He came from an island

And he died from the street

He hurt so bad like a soul breaking

But he never said nothing to me

So say hello to heaven

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 whisper

She knows that love heals all wounds with time

Now it seems like too much love

Is never enough, you better seek out

Another road 'cause this one has

Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

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 dogs broke your bone

There's just one thing left to be said

Say hello to heaven
