Down there naked, out of luck 
Em 
Looking into back and just things you brought

From the street 
Yeah you did it but your shoe's lonely

Looking at the heavens but they disown you

And you let yourself go like you as a kid

Look what you are feelin' again

Oh, that I could use some winter sun 
G                                         Em

They say that time's a great healer 
But it's takin' away 
Em 
To get me to the place where you ? the waves 
C 
And the signs they would flash on your boats ? 
D 
Maybe you remember to give me a call 
G 
If you ever get to heaven give me a shout 
Em 
I need to know what the ? about 
C 
Will you say my name to saints on the way 
D 
Will you give me some charge, just take this plane away
