I heard that you were dead, dead before you hit the ground.
I heard that you were taken, and your body was never found.
I heard that you were blistered by the sun s burning rays.
I know that something s wrong, you ve not been round for days.
I heard a vicious rumour that you d gone and lost your head.
Some said that your brain was sick, some said that it was dead.

You ve always been so fragile.
Brittle to the touch.
Though I never knew you, I miss you oh so much.

I heard that you were dead, dead before you hit the floor.
It came as no surprise to me, you ve done this kind of thing before.
It was over in a moment, you passed without a sound.
I know that you were shackled, but now you are unbound.

I heard that you were dead, dead before you hit the ground.
I never said goodbye.
And now I m left to think about why, why you left me on the line.
I called you up but no reply.
I heard that you were dead, dead before you hit the ground.

I never said goodbye.
And now I m left to think about why, why I couldn t let you know.
I ve never seen an angel fly so low.

I never said goodbye.
And now I m left to think about why, why I couldn t let you know.
I ve never seen an angel fly so low.
