What I Need

When my life must surely end

When I take a knife and bend

My heart across a slanted pole

And when I reach the grassy knoll

Of heaven's light, and heaven's dream

I will lie in the light of pleasure's beam

For I will know then more than most

For I have sailed on heaven's coast

I have flown through heaven's skies

And I have looked in angels' eyes

But what I want, most of all

Is a life with you, you hear me call

So I go to God and I beg and plead

Can't you see what I must need

I look into his eyes so old

I shiver once then grow so bold

I make my plea, he wants my soul

I scream out loud to take his toll

And he tears my soul apart

Then takes my mind and heart

Then gives them back with so much more

Then he opens up the door

From heaven to earth to finish my life

With you, my love, as my wife
