Yngvarr Nowicki - My only heaven (Official Audio)

======= My only heaven LYRICS =======
(Verse 1)
The porch light's humming, cutting through the grey
As the sun bleeds out and ends the day
Got this bottle of whiskey and a head full of years
Washing down the triumphs and the tears
Preacher talks of heaven, saints in robes of white
A final judgment in the holy light
I stare into this glass, see the man lookin' back
He's walked a lot of grey between the white and black

(Chorus)
I don't know if I lived a good life, Lord
I don't know if I'll pass the test
But I never raised a hand or spoke a cruel word
To a good soul who was doing their best
I tried to live it fair, I tried to stand up true
And gave the devil what he was always due
So if there's something waiting past that final door
Let me see my friends and my kin just once more

(Verse 2)
I knew a banker with a smile so clean
Stole the dirt from a farmer, left his fields fallow and mean
I didn't quote the scripture, didn't call the law
Just made sure his easy fortune had a fatal flaw
Some would call it vengeance, some would call it sin
But you don't let a wolf in when the flock is thin
I've broken rules and I've broken bread
Lived by the simple code inside my head

(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know if I lived a good life, Lord
I don't know if I'll pass the test
But I never raised a hand or spoke a cruel word
To a good soul who was doing their best
I tried to live it fair, I tried to stand up true
And gave the devil what he was always due
So if there's something waiting past that final door
Let me see my friends and my kin just once more

(Bridge)
My Mama's face, my brother's laugh
Faces in a faded photograph
They went on home ahead of me
Planted 'neath that willow tree
And all this talk of streets of gold
Just leaves my weary spirit cold
If I can't share a drink with them again
Then tell me, how does a story truly end?

(Guitar Solo)

(Outro)
Yeah, if there's a tavern beyond the pale
Where the weary can sit and tell their tale
Let me pull up a chair with the ones I knew
My only heaven is a reunion with my crew
Yeah, my only heaven... is seeing them anew.
