I wrote this after spending a night pondering worse things that could have happened besides the split. In no way do I wish or condone anything bad, sad, depressing or otherwise against the guys, I just suffer from an over active mind. Those who have read my previous song rewrites know that I wear my heart on my sleave, and this is no different. After reading three fictions where Darren has died (Unfortunitly by a form of suicide in all), I decided to give a 'happier' view of it all to make me feel better. I cried the first time I heard the original, and I cried again when I read this, so you may want to grab the tissues...
"Holes in the Floor of Heaven" Org: Steve Wariner Revamp: Wolf Ramboz
One day shy of ten years old My best friend passed away I was a broken hearted little boy Blowing out that birthday cake And how I cried with the sky let go With a cold and lonesome rain Mamma smiled said don't be sad child You know he's watching you today
'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven And his tears are pouring down That's how you know he's watching Wishing he could be here now And sometimes if you're lonely Just remember he can see There's holes in the floor of heaven and he's Watching over you and me
Now things come and memories go Nothing stays the same I grew up, went away Met a man and made a band Year by year we made our names On the stage and on the road I thought we'd last forever Lord I sure do miss him now
But there's holes in the floor of heaven And his tears are pouring down That's how I know he's watching Wishing he could be here now And sometimes when I'm lonely I remember he can see There's holes in the floor of heaven and he's Watching over you and me
Well our album's now at number one I take it from the self it's a shame you can't be here now To hear it played so much They present the plaque, I cry inside As the rain starts coming down They take my hand, say Danny don't be sad 'Cause you know Darren's watching now
And there's holes in the floor of heaven And his tears are pouring down That's how you know he's watching Wishing he could be here now And sometimes if you're lonely Just remember he can see There's holes in the floor of heaven and he's Watching over you and me..... **
