Verse 1
I keep looking at the mantel,
At the clock we bought one spring,
Funny how the hands keep moving
When you’ve lost almost everything.
Half past two becomes a lifetime,
Four o’clock can break your heart,
Every minute here without you
Feels a world of miles apart.
Chorus
But Heaven has no clock,
No waiting by the door,
No counting down the hours
Till we’re together once more.
There’s no late,
There’s no long,
No wondering where I’ve gone.
If Heaven has no clock,
Then you won’t wait for me long.
Verse 2
People tell me time is healing,
People say the hurt will fade,
But time is just a human measure,
Lines and numbers people made.
Maybe where you are this evening
There is no evening at all,
No winter coming through the window,
No shadow moving on the wall.
Chorus
Because Heaven has no clock,
No waiting by the door,
No counting down the hours
Till we’re together once more.
There’s no late,
There’s no long,
No wondering where I’ve gone.
If Heaven has no clock,
Then you won’t wait for me long.
Verse 3
I still speak your name at breakfast,
Still leave your memories in their place,
Still sometimes turn around too quickly,
Thinking I have seen your face.
And if I’m given twenty summers,
Or only one more winter song,
Perhaps to you I’ll only vanish
For the length of one small dawn.
Bridge
So don’t you stand there waiting,
Don’t count the years I roam.
If eternity means anything,
There can’t be far from home.
Final Chorus
Heaven has no clock,
No waiting by the door,
No counting down the hours
Till we’re together once more.
There’s no late,
There’s no long,
No wondering where I’ve gone.
If Heaven has no clock, my love,
You won’t wait for me long.
