Heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven don't tear you apart Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven don't tear you apart There's too many kings want to hold you down And a world at the window gone underground There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine And a clock on the wall and it counts my time And heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven won't tear you apart Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven don't tear you apart There's a song on the air with a love-you line And a face in a glass and it looks like mine And I'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes And I scream at the fools, want to jump my train And heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven won't tear you apart Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart And heaven don't tear you apart Yeah heaven Ah heaven Yeah heaven
