Song Description

Message from a deceased loved one to a remaining loved one on earth

Lyrics

I know who shot Kennedy, Stonehenge ain't no mystery to me
And the Mona Lisa herself told me why she smiled
You won't believe all the things that I see

(Chorus)
As I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds
I hear you at night when you cry out loud
Here, there's no pain, there's no fear
And I can see my house from up here

I saw our Amy's class play, hard to believe she's already eight
And you wished I could be there but how would you know that I was
'Cause I left this world so suddenly with so many people depending on me
I only wish there'd been more time for goodbye
I couldn't speak but I tried

(Chorus)
Now I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds
I hear you at night when you cry out loud
Here, there's no pain, there's no fear
But I can see my house from up here

If a street lamp burns out as you pass underneath
Or you swear someone's there so you turn 'round to see
Or the radio's on and they keep playin' our song
And you fall back through time's open door
That's me tryin' to touch you once more

(Chorus)
Now I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds
Move on with your life, go make me proud
Here, there's no pain, there's no fear
I can see my house from up here
