For the first time heaven seem so strange
Clouds gather in blacks and whites
And the rain pour down
Tracing along the face of heaven

The angel fell out of Grace
Tumbling in the world of troubled faces
And the mist covered her eyes
As voices scream into her ears

Before her stand a man
The one she once caressed in her arms
And filled his heart with love and laughter
And the one that is crying right now

Slowly she moved towards him
Wiping the crystal droplets along the edges of his eyes
She touches his lips
And lowered his head and kissed him

And in the morning light
She touches the warmth
And followed the path
And heaven, she left behind

Heaven I've touched
I watched it crumbled
Heaven is not heaven
When it loses its sight
