Some say heaven is a verb
We are always on our way
Some say heaven is a quiet arbor
When the soulful branches sway
Some say hell is just a word
For the quickly passing time
And if you see me on that lonely run to freedom
Will you pull me out of line
Be my angel of the moment
Stranger on the sidelines
Open me in circles
Show me to myself
Take me to the doorway
Tell me that I'm someone
The sun will set on something, but that something
Doesn't have to be love
Some say heaven is a whistle
A shout of warning on the tracks
I think heaven is that stranger walking past you
Who has the courage to turn back
Be your angel of the moment
Stranger on the sidelines
Open you in circles
Show you to yourself
Take you to the doorway
Tell you that you're someone
The sun will set on something, but that something
Doesn't have to be love
Oh no
That something doesn't have to be love
So when you're feeling foreign
Your heart won't speak the language of your shoes
When heaven is a lonely premonition
I'll be watching out for you
I'll be your angel of the moment
Stranger on the sidelines
Open you in circles
Show you to yourself
Take you to the doorway
Tell you that you're someone
The sun will set on something, but that something
Doesn't have to be love
Oh no, that something doesn't have to be love
