The voice of reason is running with treason today
The laughing devil is chasing the angels away
The dog is barking, the baby's crying
And rainy days are multiplying
She says it's time to make decisions
Then turns on breakfast television
Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
When a small slice of heaven's all you could ever hope to find
The opera's never till the fat lady sings
Then she walks into town and pawns her eternity ring
She's leaving home, a dream in her pocket
A photograph and a silver locket
The party's over, she's not stopping
She's sick of lying, through with crying
Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
When a small slice of heaven's all you could ever hope to find
She's leaving home, a dream in her pocket
A photograph and a silver locket
The sky is open, the clouds are fading
And that small slice of heaven's waiting
Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
When a small slice of heaven's all you could ever hope to find
Life's a trial, but who did you leave behind?
When a small slice of heaven's all you could ever hope to find
