Jimmy Nail - Show Me Heaven lyrics

There's a moment in the mornings when the birds refuse to sing When the wind blows in it's cargo and the eyes begin to sting And you can't see these Elysian Fields for the bodies on the ground So you grope the dead for souvenirs that are lying all around Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven I k**ed a little boy today; I put a bayonet in his breast They said I was a hero and pinned a medal on my chest But I will not k** another for now I know it to be wrong That young man had a mother and for her I must be strong So lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven Lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven In the morning they'll be waiting and before the day is done I will make my peace with Jesus, I will walk toward the sun And they'll take me to the bloody war, where the ones before me fell And I'll go to meet my old friends, yes and my enemies as well So put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven Put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven Show me heaven, show me heaven Show me heaven, show me heaven
