Sailship - My Second Life

When I die
You’ll awake in the dead of night
To see me floating over your bed
Dressed in white
I’ll float on down across your room
Through the light that’s flooding in from the hallway
To be with you

On that night
I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
But my icy hands will only just freeze them
I’ll apologize
For the coolness of my touch
And the creaking chains that scrape through the silence
I’ll whisper quietly the songs we used to sing
Before I join the creaking sounds in your ceiling
I’m singing

Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends
And my second life begins? Take my hand
And I will make you smile again
As I lift you up to dance on the ceiling
Shut your eyes
And feel those stars beneath your feet
And press your ear to where my heart isn’t beating
Because my ghost will disappear in the daylight
But I’ll be looking down upon you every night
You’ll be alright

Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends
And my second life begins?

If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay between with me where one life ends?
Replace my chains with wings and join the choir
Singing “hallelujah”, darling, nothing has to end

Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
Because I’m always by your side
