Leave Her To Heaven

Drop me on Damen
 With a vulturous stare
 And I'll talk till I'm drunk
 With the ways that they don't compare
 Spark like the stranded
 Until I fall down
 And don't throw me a line
 If it looks like I'll drown
 So where does your God go
 In an hour like this
 I thought of his son
 When you gave me that kiss
 I thought I was on target
 But I know now I missed
 Yeah I rolled the dice
 Then he broke my wrist
 So leave her to heaven
 Won't you be surprised
 To fi nd me gone
 When you look for my eyes
 Somewhere in the crowd
 Somewhere in skies
 Leave her to heaven
 Its time for good-bye
 Stick with the knife
 Of the blade of your tongue
 And don't ever forget
 Where it is that you're from
 Dreams are like shadows
 Or maybe just not
 On the streets around here
 Leave her to heaven
 It was so hard to say
 That line to myself
 While I walked away
 To witness such beauty
 And then let it stray
 Oh leave her to heaven
 I knew I couldn't stay
 Leave her to heaven
 She belongs to the skies
 And the mystery hidden
 Deep in her eyes
 Leave her to heaven
 And leave me right here
 For in darkness will light
 Be the fi rst to appear
 Leave me with whiskey
 Poetry and verse
 I'll tell you which life
 That I fi nd to be worse
 And I don't know how
 I was graced with this curse
 Or these pools of frustration
 In which I'm immersed
 Leave her to heaven
 And leave me to hell
 I've got such a sweet
 Little story to tell
 About a girl on the run
 A ghost and a cell
 Leave her to heaven
 Leave her to heaven
 Leave her to heaven
 And me where I fell
 Gonna leave her
 Gonna leave her
