whenever I run to you lost one
it's never done
just hanging on
the past has let me be
returning as if dream
shattered as belief
if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive
if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
I will follow you and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
who'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
but for the grace of love
who'd will the meaning of
heaven from above
long horses we are born
creatures more than torn
mourning our way home

Billy Corgan (from Rockline 7/13/98):
- "That's one of the songs I'm referring to that somewhat has to do with
my mother. A lot of people assume that the song is about the death of my
mother. It's really more of a tribute to her and her spirit and her
memory. She gave me a lot of strength and I'm very proud of her and I was
very proud of the way she lived her life, and really was so amazingly
graceful and in her death, which is hard for a lot of people to
understand. So the song is more of a tribute to her than it is about that
subject. And that's where people get tripped up on the album with the
subject matter."
