Eight miles high, I saw you wearing a royal blue shirt,

Eight miles high, I saw you wearing a royal blue shirt,

Hiding in a hole in the blue from the world of hurt.

Well Mississippi mighty, oh and it's eight miles wide,

Mississippi mighty, oh and it's eight miles wide,

Em                                C                   G
Standing on the edge, I saw your face from the other side.

Even on the phone you're eight hours from my time,

    C                                           G
I'm looking over rooftops hoping that it ain't true,

        Em                                 C                  G
God can give or take away, well who would make such an awful rule?
