about

this song is a response to "Goodnight Irene" by Leadbelly

lyrics

Heaven’s not A Dream, so wake up darling,
Heaven’s not where I will be, so wake up darling.

I’ve done wrong, I cheat and I lie,
I’m not going to heaven when I die.
If you leave me now and look for me in the sky,
Well honey, you’ll be looking for some time ‘cause

Heaven’s not a dream, so wake up darling,
Heaven’s not where you’ll find me, so wake up darling.

Heaven’s just like closing your eyes
And expecting to see.
I’ve done things that I regret, but
I ain’t done loving you yet,
When you see that river, walk on by.

Heaven’s not a dream, so wake up darling.
