"heaven will have to wait" lyrics

You fell into the murky depth
And grieved as if the things you loved had left
But they ain't gone yet

You said a prayer before you wept
And drank as if you really could forget
But it ain't dark yet

Hold on, wait a minute
You're so strong, keep on living
Let your head down, lay it on me, you're safe

Been so long
Since you slept on me, lie down
You just need a little time now
Heaven will have to wait

Heaven will have to wait

You asked me what it means to rest
To keep your light lit upon my desk
And then confessed

That you were scared I'd love you less
If I had no one there upon my chest
In an empty nest

Hold on, wait a minute
You're so strong, keep on living
Let your head down, lay it on me, you're safe

Been so long
Since you slept on me, lie down
You just need a little time now
Heaven will have to wait

Heaven will have to wait

(You just need a little time)
(You just need a little time)
(You just need a little time)

Heaven will have to wait
