Heaven's Last Attempt
(Jude Cole)
Rain down mercy for the lost and lonely child
For the liars and the losers, the reckless and the wild
There's no more use in pretending
I know I never fooled you
The deepest darkness I've ever known comes
From living like I do
But I swear I'm gonna knock on that gate
Even if it's all in vain
I'll stand outside with my mouth wide open
And drink the pouring rain
I know there's some good left in this world
I've seen it shine in your eyes
So rain down salvation, and keep my faith alive
The harder we fall, the closer we come
To finding our hearts and the damage we've done
Darlin' I've held the devil's dirty hand
But holding you now, I know
Is heaven's last attempt
So won't you walk beside me, you know I can't make it alone
Here the fields are dark and the wind is hard, hard as stone
Roll out the sky and let me come home, come home
I wanna come home
The harder we fall, the closer we come
To finding the light and the warmth of the sun
All that I've ever had I've let slip through my hands
But holding you now, I know is heaven
