Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line
Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind
I'm calling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in pain
It hurts to see you go but, darling, don't you know we're so glad you came

You'll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Only a fool would wanna stick around
When you're heaven bound

I disconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from mind
So sad and blue, how'd you do, of course you did just fine
Well, grab a tail on this big gray whale and do your best to stay brave
In that final hour he was just a beautiful flower that couldn't be saved

And you'll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Only a fool would wanna stick around
When you're heaven bound

And you'll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you'll fly across our minds
Only a fool would wanna stick around
When you're heaven bound

When you're heaven bound
