Heaven's Open Lyrics

An empty chair,

Is someone sitting there?

Footsteps on the ground.

Can you hear that sound?

Like a wild goose crying

On a lonely wind.

Whispering leaves

In the branches that bend.


[ Chorus 1 ] 

This ain't no dream, babe.

Alone in the night.

Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.

This is no dream.

You didn't read this is no book.

Go take a look, this ain't no dream.


A restless flame,

Someone calls your name.

Through the empty hall,

Casting shadows on the wall.

In the sound of emptiness,

Isolation.

Nowhere left to run,

Now the time has come.


[ Repeat Chorus 1 ] 

An open door,

Glass all on the floor.

Hands have turned to white

In the cold breeze of the night.

There's a face at the window.

Someone who you know

Or who you used to be.

Could that somebody be me?


[ Chorus 2 ] 

Dream, babe,

Alone in the night.

Turn on the light, this ain't no dream.

This is no dream.

This ain't no book.

Go take a look, this ain't no dream.


[ Repeat Chorus 2 ] 

[ Repeat Chorus 2 ] 

Dream, babe.

Dream, babe.

This ain't no dream.

Go take a look!

Dream, babe.

Dream, babe.


[ Repeat Chorus 2 ]
