Lyrics for Letter Never Sent

It's been pretty simple so far Vacation in Athens is calling me And knock, knock, knock on wood I thought I'd left you behind Heaven is yours, heaven is yours Heaven is yours where I live I followed the catacombs Left my soul at home This letter never sent And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost Heaven is yours, heaven is yours Heaven is yours where I live (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me) When I'm moving too fast Here's my new address The water's receiving me now The catacombs are filling in If my soul was made of stone No, not, not so dark, dark And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far Heaven is yours, heaven is yours Heaven is yours where I live (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me) Heaven is yours, heaven is yours Heaven is yours where I live (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
