Heard You Were Dead

I heard that you were blistered
By the sun's burning rays
I know that something's wrong
You've not been round for days

I heard a vicious rumour
That you'd gone and lost your head
Some said that your brain was sick
Some said that it was dead
You've always been so fragile
Brittle to the touch
Though I never knew ya I miss you
Oh so much

I heard that you were dead
Dead before you hit the floor
It came as no surprise to me
You've done this kind of thing before
It was over in a moment
You passed without a sound
I know that you were shackled
But now you are unbound
I heard that you were dead
Dead before you hit the ground

I never said goodbye
And now I'm left to think about why
Why you left me on the line
I called you up but no reply

I heard that you were dead
Dead before you hit the ground
I never said goodbye
And now I'm left to think about why
Why I couldn't let you know
I've never seen an angel fly so low
(Repeat verse again)
