temple of the dog'un kendi adını verdiği albümünün (1991) açılış şarkısı.

!---- spoiler ----!

please, mother of mercy
take me from this place
and the long winded curses
i keep here in my head
words never listen
and teachers, oh, they never learn
but i'm warm from the candle
though i feel too cold to burn
he came from an island
and he died from the street
and he hurt so bad like a soul breaking
but he never said nothing to me

so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

new, like a baby
lost, like a prayer
the sky was your playground
but the cold ground was your bed
i said poor stargazer
she's got no tears in her eyes
but smooth like a whisper
she knows that love heals all wounds with time
now it seems like too much love is never enough
yeah, you better seek out another road
'cause this one has ended abrupt

so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
i never wanted to write these words down for you
with the pages of phrases of all the things we'll never do
so i blow out the candle
and i put you to bed
since you can't say to me now
how the dogs broke your bone
there's just one thing left to be said

so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
so say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...
