Heaven Sent
Jimmy Barnes & INXS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once in your arms I'm on fire
You were sent girl, so perfectly true
Changing my life
Now I'm a survivor
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
That's what I call you
Late at night when the evening fire has died
There's a look in your eye
Seductive images fly
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
One day you'll see
What angels can see
Dressed in black if she comes back
I think I'll loose my mind
Tuesday she works in the library uptown
Some useful knowledge can always be found
Don't burn the library till you've read all the books
Sometimes in life you get a second look
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
Heaven sent

@LunaCintia
Michael Hutchence is our heaven sent. 20 years after his gone and i still love him.
@gbaker9295
I miss him. I saw him in '94 a month after Cobain had died. That affected him a lot and it's even more painful thinking he, too, was having problems
@adamthornberry8475
He left us in November of 1997 you know..? 🙏
@dirkrichter293
