Heaven will wait

about

Description by Nearhome Records:

"Heaven Will Wait" by Cozi anda Flounder, produced by Aaron Thomas, is a solemn and introspective dirge dedicated to a deeply beloved man who spent much of his life haunted by the regrets of lost love.

The hypnotic and atmospheric soundscape imagined by Aaron Thomas an the Cozi anda Flounder band sets the stage for this poignant musical moment.

The lyrics delve into the man's inner struggles, exploring the dreams and fears that linger like bottled emotions. The mention of crystals in ceiling tiles and stars in a young girl's eyes evokes a sense of innocence and wonder.

With heartfelt prayers and closets overflowing with memories, he finds solace amidst the mysteries of his nearly century-long life. The lyrics capture his longing to be larger than life, yearning to break the fall of his regrets.

As he reminisces, the burning cigarette becomes his companion, offering temporary respite. The presence of hidden paintings in empty dining rooms symbolizes the depths of his emotions, while the cost of lost love weighs heavily on his heart.

Amidst silent Christmas nights, he reflects on the one thing he got right. Wishing for riches and the voice of a troubadour, he yearns for a love that is young and the laughter of children playing on the floor.

With tears in his eyes, he mourns the missed chance to keep her close, longing to rewrite the past. As he falls asleep, he finds solace in the belief that only in the dreams of heaven can he find the home he seeks.

lyrics

Dreams are fears bottled in long neck beer
Crystals in ceiling tiles stars for a young girls eyes
Kneel and pray Heaven will wait today
Clothes on the hanger still for closets overfilled
Sigh and curse reading a bible verse
Almost a century life still a mystery

I wish I was ten feet tall so then I could break this fall
He said as his eyes were lit by the fire of a burning long drag on a

Cigarette placed on the remedy
Paintings in dining rooms for no one to ever see
Love long lost came with an awful cost
Christmas in silent nights with one thing that I got right

I wish I was rich and sung through the lips of a troubadour
I wish that our love was young with our kids playing on the floor
I wish you were mine to keep somber he said then weeps
I wish I was big and strong then I could bring you

Home for me
A home for us
What could have been we'll have to trust
A home for you
A home for me
What has been will have to be

Home for you
Home for me
Only in heavens dreams he said as he fell asleep
