Lyrics
V1
Before I died I didn't believe in God nor in prayer
I thought my life would end there
But then I soared in the air
Over the clouds
CH
But this became clear too late
That I used to have problems with faith
Hm-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And now I want to come down and touch you,
...But I can't
Darling, look at the sky and see me watching
Hm-m-m-m-m m
Hm-m-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
V2
Now again...
You're watching soap on your TV
The silent phone on your knees
The photo of me on the screen
Stars and Stripes
CH
This became so clear too late
That I used to have problems with faith
Hm-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Now I want to come down and touch you,
...But I can't
Darling, look at the sky and see me watching
Hm-m-m-m-m m
Hm-m-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
BR
Flag draped over the casket
They told you to be strong
Remember when I asked you
Though then it felt so wrong
What happens if I die
Should a soldier's wife cry?
V3
Alone...
You hold onto the glass of wine
A lipstick stain on its crystal
And it hurts all the time
More and more
CH
Should've left nothing to fate
But this became clear too late
Hm-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How I want to come down and touch you,
...But I can't
Darling, look at the sky and see me watching
Hm-m-m-m-m
Oh, this became clear too late
That I used to have problems with faith
Hm-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How I want to come down and touch you,
...But I can't
Darling, look at the sky and see me watching
Hm-m-m-m-m m
Hm-m-m-m-m-m
Oh-oh-oh-oh
