I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep
And fly through my dreams
So I can hitch a ride with you tonight

And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I just ain't the same without you in my life

Late night drives
All alone in my car
I can't help but start
Singing lines from all our favorite songs

And melodies in the air
Singing life just ain't fair
Sometimes I still just can't believe you're gone

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
Down here

Feel your fire
When it's cold in my heart
And things sort of start
Reminding me of my last night with you

I only need one more day
Just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
Down here

You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say good bye (goodbye)
I really wish I'd got to say
Good bye

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year

I hope that all is well in heaven (I'll be singing in heaven?)
'Cause it's all shot to hell down here (we need you here)
I hope that I find you in heaven (singing in heaven)
'Cause I'm so lost without you
Down here

You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I'd got to say goodbye

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
