It starts about 2:15 on my (legally acquired) recording…the closest I can come is:
You keep scratchin’ at the shoe
Put your best two in this, you
But it has to be something else, I’m thinkin’
Hey! A little help here?
Here’s what I came up with :
LOS LONELY BOYS LYRICS
“Heaven”
Save me from this prison
Lord help me get away
Cause only you can save me now
From this misery
Cause I’ve been lost in my own place
And I’m getting’ weary
How far is heaven
And I know I need to change
My ways of livin’
How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me
Cause I’ve been locked up way too long
In this crazy world, how far is heaven
I just keep on prayin’ Lord
Just keep on livin’, how far is heaven
Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven
I just got to know how far, how far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
[translated from Spanish]
(You that’s in a higher place
Send me down a blessing)
Cause I know there’s a better place
Than this place I’m livin’, how far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith
And just keep on giving, how far is heaven
I just wanna know how far
What you hear:
What the English is (“officially”):
And in Spanish, which is what it’s sung in:
Which means “You who are up in heaven, hand me down your blessing.” More or less.
T’anks!
