Bicycle Named Heaven

catie curtis  2001

I had a bicycle named heaven and I painted it blue
When I lived next to you
You would come knocking every afternoon
Want to take it out spinning with you

If heaven had only loved me the way that it loved you
Id have had freedom all around me like you do
I always want what I cant have
All I got is a photograph of you and heaven
You

I had problems with my chemistry problems with distraction
When I lived next to you
You would come and help me
Help me with my fractions
Show me things I thought I knew

If heaven had only loved me the way that it loved you
Id have had freedom all around me like you do
I always want what I cant have
All I got, a couple laughs with you and heaven
You

I remember you every first day of the spring
When the bicycles in bloom
Everybody is out
I can see you riding
Back and forth between the sun and the moon

If heaven had only loved me the way that I loved you
Id have had freedom all around me
I would have you
I always want what I cant have
All I got is a photograph of you and heaven
You
