Leave Her to Heaven Songtext
von Michael McDermott

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
