In God’s Time

Lyrics

She said, "For all we know, time could start moving backwards." I said, "For all we know, it always has." We stood there coldly in the kitchen The night she left for good And I remember silly details Like the dark green ribbon in her hair The speck of spaghetti sauce on her cheek She didn't know was there She's gone, she's gone Never to return to you And parallel lines eventually meet In some dark corner of the universе In God's time, not yours She said, "Do you mind if I keep this sweatshirt?" I said, "Go on, it's too small for mе And besides, you look good in it." She said, "That's your first compliment in months." She said, "Your parents really messed you up." I said, "That's their job and stuff I guess." She threw my closet open Put her things into sack She's gone, she's gone Never to return to you And you never meet your dead ancestors 'Cept in some dark corner of the universe In God's time, not yours We walked outside I said, "It looks like rain." She said, "I hate the rain." I said, "Well, we could use some." She said, "I don't see for what." I said, "Well, when it rains it feels like Back home in the Midwest." She said, "As far as I'm concerned The Midwest could fall off the earth." She's gone, she's gone Never to return to you And some day all the planets Will be overwhelmed when the sun explodes And reappear as angels In some dark corner of the universe In God's time, not yours Some nights I catch myself adding up Numbers in my head I always suspected her of doing that But she denied it and I had no proof And at such times I go outside 'Cause it's not so poison there And in the air I smell her hair And I think, "There's your proof." She's gone, she's gone Never to return to you And somewhere all the numbers Have been counted up and put away In some dark corner of the universe In God's time, not yours She said, "For all we know, time could start moving backwards." "For all we know, it always has." We stood there coldly in the kitchen The night she left for good
