As the raindrops on the window chase one another As the bus leaves the station, I think about my mother For things down here We need you near and I'm sorry Your love is not enough Your words we hear Still there’s a fear of memories waiting to be lost Heaven's not, not ready for you No heaven's not ready for you As I lay down and the ceiling seems closer than before As I wake up in the morning and no one’s at my door For things down here we need you near And I'm sorry, your love is not enough Twelve months, a year The time has past fast yet so slow It seems as if one day you'll be back Even if you won't I'd take everything I own And trade for you, barely a second would do Heaven's not, not ready for you No heaven's not ready for you She said: Is this the time I'll die? And no matter how we try it’s impossible to lie, it’s true Heaven's not, not ready for you No heaven’s not ready for you As the raindrops on the window chase one another As the bus leaves the station, I think about my mother
