A Long Way From Heaven Tab

by Michael Mcdermott



wandering streets with rain and light
                                               -
i’m not feeling like myself tonight

crossroads and signs we cannot read
							      - 
i’m not sure what it is you think i need

its a city of ghosts where no one trusts
						      -
its a city of wings that turn to rust

i’m turning and i still can’t find
                               
these things i need to leave behind
                                                  
yeah we’re a long, long, long way from heaven

twilight leaks through and open book
i know what your saying with every look
danger dances in these half lit rooms
confusion reeks in these saloons
hey Lazarus where have you been boy
is death something you still enjoy?
you’re a long, long, long way from heaven


                                                  
the lord he giveth and the lord he take
                                                
i’ve broken laws that i couldn’t face
                                                      
between the colors of your love and hate
                               /           
its a time to murder and a time to create

the din of despair and broken drunken tongues
who are these people we’ve become
i feel it do you feel it to...happiness always eluding you
i’ll weave you a liars blanket, snug
and show you what i’ve learned from love
yeah we’re a long, long, long way 
such a long, long, long way
such a long, long long way from heaven
