Letter Never Sent Lyrics
[Verse 1: Michael Stipe]
It's been pretty simple so far
Vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood
I thought I'd left you behind
[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry]
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours
Heaven is yours where I live
[Verse 2: Michael Stipe]
The thought of the catacombs
Left my soul at home
This letter never sent
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills]
But it's so far
It's all gone
It's all lies
[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry/Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)
[Bridge: Michael Stipe/Mike Mills]
When I’m moving too fast
Where’s my new address?
[Verse 3: Michael Stipe]
The water is evening now
The catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone
No, knock knock, so bark dark
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Mills]
But it's so far
It's all gone
It's all lies
But it's so far
It's all flying
It's all lies
[Chorus: Michael Stipe/Bill Berry/Mike Mills]
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)
Heaven is yours (You know it's scary)
Heaven is yours (It's always scary for a while)
Heaven is yours where I live (It's always scary)
