Heaven Go Easy on Me

(album: The Head And The Heart - 2011)

God, what are we doin'?
Can't live this way forever
Gotta make ourselves some money
Or be thrown out with the bathwater

My sister and my brother
Look to me for answers
And our fathers and our mothers
Wanna know they raised us right
Wanna know they raised us right

Is it that the good life is the simple one
(Sitting in the lawn watching leaves go by)
Reading good books and playing songs

Watching the wind blow through your front yard
Don't follow your head
Follow your heart

And while you're sitting all alone in your room on your bed
And your windows are open but you won't go out, no
Ah, heaven go easy on me

And while you're sitting all alone in your room on your bed
And your windows are open but you won't go out, no
Ah, heaven go easy on me

It's damn good to've met you, I hope that you stay
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
[continued in background]

All things must end, darling
All things must end, darling
All things must end, darling
All things must end, darling
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)

Ah, heaven go easy on me
