Well, it feels like slow-motion,
I hear the gun explodin'.
I see the flash, it brings me to my knees,
And I feel the warmth flowin' out of me.
But in my mind, I'm climbin' up the stairs,
And walkin' down the hall.
And Heather's standin' there.
October ninety-nine:
I see us in New England in the Fall.
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10,
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
I see the money on the floor,
And his gun there by the door.
He was tryin' to rob the bank when I walked in.
Oh, but this is not the way it's supposed to end.
But in my mind, I'm climbin' up the stairs,
And walkin' down the hall.
And Heather's standin' there:
October ninety-nine:
I see us in New England in the Fall.
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10,
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
Instrumental break.
Oh, somewhere someone says: "We've lost him now."
But I look up and I see Heather's smile.
So how can I be dyin', when I'm climbin' up the stairs
And walkin' down the hall?
And I see a bright light there,
October ninety-nine:
And that picture of New England in the fall.
Our love will last forever like that 8 by 10,
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
(Our love will last forever.)
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
(Our love will last forever.)
Hangin' on Heather's wall.
