Delaney Lyrics by Alpha

Come From Heaven

1997

If I'd known you were telling me the truth-
Anyhow, I should have listened to you
I'm very sorry
Is it right now?

[Helen White]
Be a friend
Don't learn at my expense
So concerned
Despite your empty words
I care, be there
But leave me breathing
Don't despair
I know why I'm so alive

[Martin Barnard]
Heads, to say you have it
Tails, to say you don't
Lost for words and I think
Time to take you home
Caught you up a ladder
Trying to end it all
Is it any wonder
I believe them all?

[Martin Barnard & Helen White]
You don't see it do you?
You shouldn't play God
You got something on your mind
Just knock it off
You smile a little more
You stop saying no
You don't seem to be the trying type after all

[Martin Barnard]
I break your fall and say
"You could have been nothing"

[Helen White]
Be a friend
Don't learn at my expense
I care, be there but leave me breathing
Don't despair
I know why I'm so alive
To leave me breathing, yeah
Don't despair
I know why I'm so alive

[Martin Barnard & Helen White]
You don't see it do you?
You shouldn't play God
You got something on your mind
Just knock it off
You smile a little more
You stop saying no
You don't seem to be the trying type after all

[Martin Barnard]
Sight of nothing
Sight of the world
Sight of the
Sight

[Helen White]
Be like everyone else
Be like everyone else
Be like everyone else

[Martin Barnard]
Do you like, do you like me? Let's go away

[Helen White]
Be like everyone else ...

[Martin Barnard]
Any day now we could leave town
Down, take a car in London Town, take a London
