Peter Asher - The Indifference of Heaven lyrics

Time marches on Time stands still Time on my hands, time to k** Blood on my hands And my hands in the till Down at the 7-11 Gentle rain falls on me And 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, "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 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 And town burned down Nothing left But the sound Of the front door closing forever Gentle 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
