"Heavens Just A Mile Away" lyrics

I was shattered, beat up and tattered, floating down
Thought I was forsaken, my heart was aching for something sound

Don't run from me, my lover
Heaven's just a mile away
Take my hand and kiss the other
Babe, I wanna show you the way

We ascend to the light
Freedom on the other side to heaven
If I make it to the firmament
I'm gonna ask why

Why did it take you so long
To bring me to the sky

Don't run from me, my lover
Heaven's just a mile away
Take my hand and kiss the other
Babe, I wanna show you the way

We ascend to the light
Freedom on the other side to heaven

My head is fifty pounds in cotton sheets
I rest and think that I've waken up

I've waken up

My eyes are thirty-ten
From rotting in your sugar stains
And I've waken up
I've waken up
