Anne Clark:Heaven

Every day as heaven
Moves further and further away
Familiar blue eyes I once knew
Turn a colder shade of grey

Every day as heaven
Moves further and further away
Familiar words we used to share
Seem so difficult to say

And I am alone
In a world of cold flesh, cold steel, cold stone
I close up like a clam
And shut the world out with the slam of a door
To shut out all the fighting, all the hatred, all the war
You just cannot stay calm
When your soul screams less
But someone always wants more
What for?

Every day as heaven
Moves further and further away
Familiar blue eyes I once knew
Turn a colder shade of grey

Every day as heaven
Moves further and further away
Familiar words we used to share
Seem impossible to say

Every day
Heaven moves further and further away
