If There's a Heaven Above lyrics

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

He's been looking now for a long time

It seems the more he looks the less he wants to see

He turned to the west for a long time

He turned to the east then he turned to the west again

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime

If there's a heaven above, let it be near

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime

Then let it be near, let it be near to me

We've been talking now for a long time

It seems the more we speak the less we seem to say

If there's a hell below in the meantime

Then let us shut up unless we want to pray

He saw everything real too clearly

So close that the bones would show

And to see everything so clearly

Isn't always the best thing you know

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime

If there's a heaven above then let it be near

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime

Let it be near, let it be near to me

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith
