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 suns burning rays
I know that somethings wrong you've not been round for days

I heard a vicious rumour
that you'd gone and lost you head
someone said that your brain was sick
some said that it was dead

You've always been so fragile
brittle to the touch and
though i never knew ya 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
Know that you were shackled but know you are unbound

I heard that you were dead
dead before you hit the ground

chorus:
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

chorus2:
I never said goodbye
and now i'm left to think about why
why i should've let you know
I've never seen an angel fly so low
(repeat)
