[Intro]
x2
[Verse 1]
Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line
Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind
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
[Chorus]
And you ll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you ll fly across our minds
Only a fool would want to stick around
When you re heaven bound
[Verse 2]
Disconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from mind
So sad and blue, how d you do, of course you did just fine
So grab a tail on this big gray whale and do your best to stay brave
In that final hour he s just a beautiful flower that couldn t be saved
[Chorus]
And you ll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you ll fly across our minds
Only a fool would want to stick around
When you re heaven bound
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
And you ll stay gone a long, long time
Day by day you ll fly across our minds
Only a fool would want to stick around
When you re heaven bound, heaven bound
