A Dream That Can Last Lyrics
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold
I saw a glimmer from in her eye
I saw the distance, I saw the past
And I know I won't awaken,
it's a dream that can last
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold
were turned down low
And no one wondered or had to go
Out on the corner the angels say
There is a better life
for me someday
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold
The chorus: "I feel like I died and went to Heaven The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold"
-- In heaven, he's saying that wordly, material possessions, like what go in individuals' cupboards, don't exist, but we're ALL rich, together, with streets of gold...
What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?
he seems to be speaking of some sort of concept of heaven. it's a very spiritual song to be sure. it ends the bleak "sleeps with angels" on a note of ephemeral beauty. one of the best ends he's ever done. if you ask me.
The album "Sleeps with Angels" is usually thought of as referring to the suicide of Kurt Cobain and being like the mournful album "Tonight's The Night".
I understand that the daughter of a friend of Neil was killed in a drive by (as described in the song "Driveby"). She may be refered to in this song.
