You fell into the murky depth
And grieved as if the things you loved had left
But they ain't gone yet
Set a prayer before you wept
And drank as if you really could forget
But it ain't hard yet

Hold on, wait a minute
You're so strong, keep on living
Let your head down
Lay it on me, you're safe
Been so long since you slept with me
Lie down, you just need a little time now
Heaven will have to wait
Heaven will have to wait

You asked me what it means to rest
To keep your light lit upon my desk
And then confessed
That you're scared, I'd love you less
If I had no one there upon my chest
In an empty nest

Hold on, wait a minute
You're so strong, keep on living
Let your head down
Lay it on me, you're safe
Been so long since you slept with me
Lie down, you just need a little time now
Heaven will have to wait
Heaven will have to wait

You just need a little time
You just need a little time
You just need a little time
Heaven will have to wait
Heaven will have to wait
