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
