The Indifference of Heaven Lyrics

Time marches on
Time stands still
Time on my hands, time to killBlood on my hands
And my hands in the till
Down at the 7-11Gentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of HeavenThe past seems realer
Than the present to me now
I've got memories to last meWhen the sky is gray
The way it is today
I remember the times when I was happySame old sun, same old moon
It's the same old story
Same old tuneThey all say
Someday soon
My sins will all be forgivenGentle rain falls on me
All life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity

Beneath the vast indifference of HeavenThey say, "Every thing's all right"
They say, "Better days are near"
They tell us, "These are the good times"
But they don't live around hereBilly and Christie don't
Bruce and Patti don't
They don't live around hereI had a girl, now she's gone
She left town
And town burned downNothing left
But the sound
Of the front door closing foreverGentle rain falls on me
And all life folds back into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of Heaven
The vast indifference of Heaven
