lyrics

So long heaven. I'm crossing over.
Take these white wings off of my shoulder.
Take this halo it don't fit right.
Where I'm going I've gotta travel light.

So long heaven its been good to know ya
I gonna start making my way home
Going back down to where I belong...So long heaven

I'll be missing angel singing.
All of those sweet psalms my ears are ringing.
Take these white robes I'll wear a tee shirt
some old blue jeans I'm ready to hit the dirt

So long heaven its been good to know you
gonna start makin my way home
I'm goin back down to where I belong

Open up the gates I'll let myself out
anything is better than livin on a cloud
where everyones a saint
you always gotta think out loud.
and theres a strange weight pulling me down…

Sunny acre on a southern hill
apples in blossom hear the whippoorwill now
there's a small house under a big sky
and thats my family there waitin on a new life

so long heaven its been good to know you
gonna start makin my way home
goin back down to where I belong
and I hope I make it back to see you
and that my life is long and strong
and you watch over me while I'm gone..
so long heaven so long heaven...

Songwriting, specifically, is a tool of survival that I've been able to use to manifest and maintain myself. These days I strive to be careful with the words I sing as they tend to have a way of coming true. ... more
