Lyrics If There's a Heaven - Lucinda Williams

When you go, you let me know if there's a heaven out there
When you leave me here to grieve in pain and despair
I've seen the face of hell, I know that place pretty damn well
But when you go, you'll let me know if there's a heaven out there

On the day you fly away, far beyond the blue
When you're done, and your run is finally through
I'm forced to let go, there'll be no greater sorrow
On that day you fly away, far beyond the blue

I'll be lost when you cross over to the other side
Will my pain be in vain, I found out they lie
When you go I need to know that what they say is really so
'Cause I'll be lost when you cross over to the other side

You promise me this before you let go of my hand
Before we visit our last kiss and you are cold and cannot stand
Before it's finally time and you've taken my sunshine
Will you promise me this before you let go of my hand

When you go, you let me know if there's a heaven out there
When you leave me here to grieve in pain and despair
I've seen the face of hell, I know that place pretty damn well
But when you go, you'll let me know if there's a heaven out there

When you go, you let me know
If there's a heaven out there
