Paradise

(album: Empress - 2018)

When the world comes to end
And I leave all my friends
Hope we meet again
Where the street's paved with gold
And we never get old
Hope you're there to hold

When I dress in the moming
And your number's not calling
Hope we speak again
After too many drinks
On the one three six
Hope I see my friend

In Paradise
On high
Hope we meet in Paradise
Up in the sky

I have plans for us, babe
Before you had to go away
God, I wish you stayed
I have places to show ya
Broken bridge, Blackward grove
Now you'll never know

We had one more night out, your lips, my tongue
Before, you said, "Love, I'll see you 'round"
And we said our goodbye
And you walk into the light

In Paradise
On high
Hope we meet in Paradise
Up in the sky

Well, time is all that we've got
And I never had to stop
Loving you, loving you
In Paradise
Up in the sky

With me (Nothing in the sunshine)
Mmm (Singing songs and true words)
When the world comes to an end (Skipping on your heartbeat)
(Where we finally meet) Will it be?
(Nothing in the sunshine)
(Singing songs in) Ecstasy
(Before we're six foot deep)

(Nothing in the sunshine) Oh, we'll all dress in linens
(Singing songs and true words)
(Skipping on your heart beat) And your number's not calling
(Where we finally meet)
(Nothing in the sunshine) Just the sound of you talking
(Singing songs of sympathy) To me
(Six foot deep)
Oh, I hope that you'll be there

In paradise
On high
I hope we meet in paradise
Up in the sky

When time is up, that we've got
And I've never had to stop
Loving you, loving you
In paradise
Up in the sky

Would you wait for, would you wait for me?
Will you wait for, will you wait for me?
Would you wait for, would you wait for me?
Will you wait for, will you wait for me?
