Waterboys - Too Close To Heaven lyrics

All your trouble will be over, so will your pain
you´re going to see those blue skies bursting right through the rain
The higher you climb, the lower you fall
You got too close to heaven, that is all

Now in the morning you can cry all you wanna
- we will spend the whole day weeping
Right now I want you to lay down your weary head
and let me see you sleeping
You have been walking around baby, inflamed & ashamed
feeling like you are one inch tall
You got too close to heaven, that is all

You are way too hard on yourself baby
- you got some pretty basic things wrong
You´dn´t believe me if I told you why I wrote you into this song
You are looking at your heart baby, & you are calling it black
but like Icarus & like Saul
You got too close to heaven, that is all

Now I know this hurt you are feeling - I have felt these same things too
I have got spaces way down deep inside of me that are just the same as you
You want to wrap your arms around your head, turn out the lights
and roll yourself into a ball
You got too close to heaven, that is all

Are you blinded by the brilliance ?
Are you dazzled by the Light ?
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your tired beaten eyes
that once were bright
I know you just can´t help but run when you hear that sweet voice call
You got too close to heaven, that is all

I walked a mile for you baby
so won´t you smile for me baby ?
