Say Hello 2 Heaven - Temple of the Dog

Please, mother of mercy

Take me from this place

and the long winded curses

I keep here in my head

Words never listen

and teachers, oh, they never learn

but I'm warm from the candle

though I feel too cold to burn

He came from an island

and he died from the street

and he hurt so bad like a soul breaking

but he never said nothing to me

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

New, like a baby

Lost, like a prayer

The sky was your playground

but the cold ground was your bed

I said poor stargazer

She's got no tears in her eyes

but smooth like a whisper

She knows that love heals all wounds with time

Now it seems like too much love is never enough

Yeah, you better seek out another road

'cause this one has ended abrupt

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

I never wanted to write these words down for you

with the pages of phrases of all the 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

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
