Cheley Tackett: Music
Up Here
(Cheley Tackett)
I know who shot Kennedy
Stonehenge ain't no mystery to me and the Mona Lisa herself told me why she smiled--you won't believe all the things that I see
As I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds, I hear you at night when you cry out loud, here there's no pain and there ain't no fear, and I can see my house from up here
I saw our Amy's class play, hard to believe she's already eight, and you wished I could be there but how would you know that I was
'Cause I left this world so suddenly, with so many people depending on me, and I only wish that there'd been more time for goodbye--I couldn't speak but I tried
Now I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds, and I hear you at night when you cry out loud, here there's no pain and there ain't no fear, and I can see my house from up here
If a streetlamp burns out as you pass underneath or you swear someone's there so you turn round to see or the radio's on and they keep playin' our song and you fall back through time's open door, that's me trying to touch you once more
Now I walk on the stars, sleep in the clouds, move on with your life, go make me proud, here I'm away but I'm always near, 'cause I can see my house from up here
