One Inch of Heaven
Lyrics
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
I was in love with the thought of perfection
Yes, my world was just a skyscraper of dreams
Then I was crushed to the floor by a feeling
So strong, so strange, I had to scream, uh-hun
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down a vacant street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
I was the King of the cynical line
Nothing was too dark or too cruel
Now I believe that there's something worth trying for
Lover, since you've chosen this poor fool, uh-huh
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down Jamaica Street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Funny how you wake up
And start to see
Something in your eyes
Made a new man of me
Where would I be
Where would I be
Oh, where would I be
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down Jamaica Street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Oh, you know
Oh, you know there's
There's just no way of knowing
I'm walking down the street
And I just don't know where I'm going
Out to the river
Oh, flowing to the sea
Big black river
Rolling on out to the sea
Coal dark river
Washing away
Mirror
Mystery river
There's no reason for me
To go home
There's no reason for me
To go home
Go home
Go home
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
I was in love with the thought of perfection
Yes, my world was just a skyscraper of dreams
Then I was crushed to the floor by a feeling
So strong, so strange, I had to scream, uh-hun
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down a vacant street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
I was the King of the cynical line
Nothing was too dark or too cruel
Now I believe that there's something worth trying for
Lover, since you've chosen this poor fool, uh-huh
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down Jamaica Street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Funny how you wake up
And start to see
Something in your eyes
Made a new man of me
Where would I be
Where would I be
Oh, where would I be
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
As I walk down Jamaica Street
With rain in my eyes
Call across the coal dark water
Waiting to see
Waiting to see the sunrise
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Hey-ey, ooh-ooh
Oh, you know
Oh, you know there's
There's just no way of knowing
I'm walking down the street
And I just don't know where I'm going
Out to the river
Oh, flowing to the sea
Big black river
Rolling on out to the sea
Coal dark river
Washing away

Mystery river
There's no reason for me
To go home
There's no reason for me
To go home
Go home
Go home
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
Now there's one inch of heaven
That is open for me
There's a rock in my heart
That can't be broken
