Another mystery from the ghost writer in me
I don’t want to shock you now
But there goes the sky
Wave goodbye
And my inner monologue
Like a whisper in the fog
Will never move beyond my boat
‘Cause there goes the sky
Wave goodbye

Only the angels know I’m here
Only the angels know I’m gone
So much left undone

All it takes to be set free
From the grief of gravity
Is to wear the face that doesn’t care
And there goes the sky
Wave goodbye
All the prophets of the age
Would do well to fill each page
With a humble question mark
‘Cause there goes the sky
Wave goodbye

Only the angels know I’m here
Only the angels know I’m gone
So much left undone

Feeling cheated of your share
Of Exxon water and INCO air?
I tell you now you’re better off
‘Cause there goes the sky
Wave goodbye
Throw a wrench into the spokes
Make it double as a joke
A good laugh for the revenants
‘Cause they know they’re dead

Only the angels know I’m here
Only the angels know I’m gone
So much left undone
