I heard that you were dead, 

dead before you hit the ground.

I heard that you were taken,

and your body was never found.

I heard that you were blistered by

the suns burning rays

I know that somethings wrong you've not been round for days



I heard a vicious rumour 

that you'd gone and lost you head.

someone said that your brain was sick

some said that it was dead



You've always been so fragile

brittle to the touch and

though i never knew ya I miss you oh so much



I heard that you were dead

dead before you hit the floor 

It came as no surprise to me

you've done this kind of thing before

It was over in a moment

you passed without a sound

Know that you were shackled but know you are unbound



I heard that you were dead

dead before you hit the ground



chorus:

I never said goodbye

and now i'm left to think about why

why you left me on the line

I called you up but no reply



I heard that you were dead

dead before you hit the ground



chorus2:

I never said goodbye

and now i'm left to think about why

why i should've let you know

I've never seen an angel fly so low

(repeat)
