[This song is dedicated to the memory of Katherine Korzilius.] [Sometimes God calls His angels ... too soon.]
Ah... It was another day Perfect Texas afternoon Mother and two children play The way they always do As they raced home from the mailbox A mother and her son Against a little girl of six years old The independent one
Ah... The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood They said I got some news to tell you folks I'm afraid it ain't so good Somehow something happened Someone got away Someone got the answers for what happened here today Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
Now the people from the papers And the local TV news tried to find the reason Cop dogs sniffed around for clues Someone shouted "Hit and run" The coroner cried "Foul" Her blue dress was what she wore The day they laid her body down Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 No...
[Guitar solo]
I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill And no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever will Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed The flames are all around you How you gonna sleep again ? Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 [ 4:15 to fade ]
