Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place

With the sun up in my eyes

Symbols of the morning comin' on

With the 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 loves and the flame

I'd already heard before

Baby, two years ago



Say it's too hard to return

Now it seemed just like a dream

I saw and 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 here and gone
