Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up, in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With a love, that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky one
Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio
About the lives it deserves to claim
I'd already heard before
Maybe, two years ago
Sail is too high to just return
You know it seemed just like a dream
Cause I'd already seen it
On my TV screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
When I'm dead and gone
