Heaven Passing Through

The sawmill lights, they shone so bright, you could barely see the stars
But we caught a couple falling out on a blanket in the yard
You're winding down from a late shift down at the nursing home
Feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm grown

Come back from the dark somehow
Finally living in the here and now
No sign of a thundercloud following you
Don't take it personal, the world don't turn around you
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

We washed the X's off our hands at the honky-tonk
We two-stepped pretty bad and pretended we were drunk
Shared cigarettes and talked about what we would do
I knew no matter what I did, I'd never be with you

Come back from the dark somehow
Finally living in the here and now
No sign of a thundercloud following you
Don't take it personal, the world don't turn around you
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

Now we stare up and I say constellations that I know
You repeat 'em back, but you don't care, you're only three years old
It's nice to see the world the same as someone
It feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm young

Come back from the dark somehow
Finally living in the here and now
No sign of a thundercloud following you
Don't take it personal, the world don't turn around you
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

Come back from the dark somehow
Finally living in the here and now
No sign of a thundercloud following you
Don't take it personal, the world don't turn around you
Hold on to a moment like it's heaven passing through
