Heaven is for the weak at heart
And those who never were as smart as me
But I would trade all that I believe
And keep no trick card up my sleeve
Just to know the angels hold you in their arms tonight

I was a good baby, I slept all through night
My mother remembers my eyes were like hers
When no one remembers do the dying embers
Say goodnight? Say goodnight

A screen door bangin' in the wind
Through the quiet night you come crashin' again
Just like new it's never faded
It's a game we play my jaded little brain and I

In a dream well a light could fire
I look down on you fall down outside
My hearts desire could not be sated
To your own child you have traded
An eye for an eye

Heaven is for the weak at heart
And those who never were as smart as me
But I would trade all that I believe
And keep no trick card up my sleeve
Just to know the angels hold you in their arms tonight
Just to know the angels hold you in their arms tonight
