A Storm In Heaven, Sections 37-40

From there he drove madly to the hospital where He was coughing up blood but stayed far from care His only desire was to see his one love And pray that help would arrive from above She was bandaged and bloodied all over in the bed As he planted one kiss atop her pretty head He said he was sorry for having let her down And broke her heart in kind with his genuine frown He said he no longer possessed a fear to die For he knew his time had come and knew exactly why She rushed to protest but he would not have it so And the last thing he said was “You will never know Just how much I love you, to your very soul” And with that Ryan Adams left with spirit full For his destiny lay in plain view for once now And he would reach that goal before the sun set over bow Despite his ravaged organs his heart was still intact Lyla needed a transplant and their blood types were the same in fact She did not know till after for he requested she not know As he laid upon the steel with his skin as cold as snow He told me he would meet her in the next life someway And for that reason alone in peace he could lay Ryan gave away his heart, which he said was always hers And passed on to the next world, which we are here to observe And so we have joined to return him to the earth Please take him gently, spirit that first gave him birth Replace him among all the stormclouds that race Across the Technicolor sky, with Apollo giving chase To the edge of the oceans at the end of the world Where the seas are as blue as the eyes of that girl Whose tears do now mix with the gently falling rain Of another storm in heaven over a piercing green plain
