When A Heart Beats

Nik Kershaw

Half-way to paradise or so it seems that way

Same as anyone the same as any other day.

We seek eternity in all the things we buy

Not top priority but it sure figures very high.

Who steals the real world

fooling us all as it goes



And who gets to heaven - heaven knows.

When a heart beats you can see forever

When our time sleeps you can be forever

be forever.



Meanwhile in Cuckoo Land

a most delightful place



We look no further

than the nose in front of our face.

No wood anywhere

we can see only trees

Last train for material refugees.

When a heart beats you can see forever



When our time sleeps you can be forever.

When a heart beats you can see forever

When our time sleeps you can be forever

be forever.

Don't concern yourself with matters

past and future

Just put your mind to where they meet.

But when a heart beats fooling us all as it goes



And who gets to heaven - heaven knows.

When a heart beats you can see forever

When our time sleeps you can be forever

be forever - be forever - be forever -

be forever - be forever -

Heart beats heart beats - be forever -

Heart beats heart beats - be forever -

be forever.
