What's it Like?

R.I.P. Zalman Katz (1990-2008)

Will you tell me what it's like
up there in the sky?
I want to know where
the angels learn how to fly.

I promised you I wouldn't cry
because you said it'd be alright.
but I let one slip away
in the cover of the night.

I want your voice again.
Please.. just once more?
Give me a sign
So I can stop being sore.

Why am I so selfish
that I want you to stay here?
God needs a drummer too
But it's just.. that you were so near.

I wish I could have fixed you
and made your pain leave
but I cried and blamed myself
forgetting how to believe.

But I don't want you to cry for me
I want you happy up there.
And when it's my turn to join you
save me a song for us to share.
