I Wanna Go to Heaven

When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
I wanna go to Heaven when I give up the ghost
I’m counting sparrows in darkening skies
Get swallowed by the clouds in my eyes
Beneath an old cypress, I wonder why
In the earth we were brought up to lie
When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
I wanna go to Heaven when I give up the ghost
The sun shudders softly behind a cold moon
My breath bleeds out slowly 'til it fills up the room
I’m drawn to my grave like a moth to a flame
The temple makes itself a tomb
When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
I wanna go to Heaven when I give up the ghost
When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
I wanna go to Heaven when I give up the ghost
Sweet Jesus, I fear when this body is gone
There’ll be nothing left but a pile of my bones
Though I sleep in the clay, don’t forget me that day
Don’t leave me down there all alone
When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
I wanna go to Heaven when I give up the ghost
When this body grows weary and the end’s feeling close
