  `    ____   ' Gone now, 
                   
                   spread 
                   your wings

                    All of Heaven 
                    has

                    show.
             
                    This Gig 

                    is 
                    sold out,

                    to 
                    standing room 
                    only,

                     on the steps
                     at
                     Heaven's Door,
                      
                     To hear 
                     you 

                     play your
                     guitar Lucille,
                    
                     On the 
                    "Street's Made Of Gold."
