(Damon Bramblett)



Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line

Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind

Calling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in pain

It hurts to see you go but darling don't you know we're so glad you came



Chorus

And you'll stay gone a long, long time

Day by day you'll fly across our minds

Only a fool would want to stick around

When you're heaven bound



Disconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from mind

So sad and blue, how'd you do, of course you did just fine

So grab a tail on this big gray whale and do your best to stay brave

In that final hour he was just a beautiful flower that couldn't be saved



Chorus (Twice)
