Since my baby done left this town  
Been searching for her everywhere  
Like a blind man  
In the dark

Fell asleep, had a dream by the winter tree  
Heard the snow fall and melt into spring  
Saw the ice lose its hold  
On the pale frost grass  
To which it clings

There’s a fire in the corner slowly dyin’ away  
Sometimes I just don’t feel like goin’ on anymore  
And yet I know it’s more than worth the waiting  
For another chance to see the summer sun  
Come on, shine on me

Capturing moments of life in a jar  
Playing with children and acting as stars  
Guiding your vision to heaven  
And heaven is in your mind

Mama, take this badge off of me  
I can’t use it anymore

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door  
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

It would have been alright
