Heaven's Last Attempt - Jude Cole

Rain down mercy for the lost and lonely child

For the liars and the losers, the reckless and the wild

There’s no more use in pretending

I know I never fooled you

The deepest darkness I’ve ever known comes

From living like I do

But I swear I’m gonna knock on that gate

Even if it’s all in vain

I’ll stand outside with my mouth wide open

And drink the pouring rain

I know there’s some good left in this world

I’ve seen it shine in your eyes

So rain down salvation, and keep my faith alive

The harder we fall, the closer we come

To finding our hearts and the damage we’ve done

Darlin' I’ve held the devil’s dirty hand

But holding you now, I know

Is heavens last attempt

So won’t you walk beside me, you know I can’t make it alone

Here the fields are dark and the wind is hard, hard as stone

Roll out the sky and let me come home, come home

I want to come home

The harder we fall, the closer we come

To finding the light and the warmth of the sun

All that I’ve ever had I’ve let slip through my hands

But holding you now, I know is heaven
