Penelope Tree - Upstairs lyrics

Artist: Penelope Tree

album: At Times We Sat in Silence


Well I'm no good at goodbyes
But I'd sure like to have one
Instead of finding out from somebody else half of what happened
I sat on the staircase, told myself it couldn't be true
Sent 24 texts in a row, didn't get one back from you
They say you stopped breathing
Said you went in your sleep
Sounds kind of peaceful
Hope its as it seems
They asked if I'd like to see you and I just burst into tears
How could I see someone so full of life then see them now so full of fear
So I turned away, never saw you again
I was just a kid, didn't know how to deal with it
But I've learnt a lot since then
And I heard that heaven's got a position open
For an angel with some compassion and the intentions of a saint
Well I hope that you get the gig, 'cus God knows you're right for it
I have to miss you every day
At least I know you're helping out upstairs
I tried to sing at your funeral but I got too damn chocked up
But I know you'd have loved me just enough to say that we're family
And sing it back to me
And I heard that heaven's got a position open
For an angel with some compassion and the intentions of a saint
And I hope that you get the gig, 'cus God knows you're right for it
I have to miss you every day
At least I know you're helping out upstairs
I picture you with white wings and I see you smiling
You were always an angel, I guess now it's official
