Right about now the midday sun is beating down on me Out there there ain't a single cloud in the southern sky Here in my heart It's as cold as any wintry sea She said how long's eternity I said as long as time may be In the white white light there's a big black bird He's staring down at me Out there for me there ain't a hope in hell Here in my heart It's as dark as a cup of Joe should be She said how long's eternity I said long enough for you and me Here in my heart It's as hard as any stone can be The only thing that can bring her back is the symmetery of the cemetery Here in my heart It's as cold as any wintry sea She said how long's eternity I said as long as time may be Here in my heart It's as hard as any stone can be The only thing that can bring her back is the symmetry of the cemetery
