The Indifference Of Heaven Lyrics

The Indifference Of Heaven lyrics

written by Warren Zevon 1993 Zevon Music BMI
Time marches on
Time stands
still
Time on my hands
Time to kill
Blood on my hands
And my hands
in the till
Down at the 7-11
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds
back
Into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference
of heaven
The past seems realer than the present to me now
I've got
memories to last me
When the sky is gray
The way it is today
I
remember the times when I was happy
Same old sun
Same old moon
It's
the same old story
Same old tune
They all say
Someday soon
My sins
will all be forgiven
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds
back
Into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast
indifference of heaven
They say "Everything's all right"
They say "Better
days are near"
They tell us "These are the good times"
But they don't live
around here
Billy and Christie don't--
Bruce and Patti don't--
They
don't live around here
I had a girl
Now she's gone
She left
town
Town burned down
Nothing left
But the sound
Of the front door
closing forever
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds back
Into
the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of heaven
