A Heartbeat in Eternity’s Highway
©2003 Tupelo Kenyon


Just like an afternoon . . . that disappears too soon
Another summer’s day . . . that fades away
See how it marches on . . . Another year is gone
No time to dwell upon . . . our fleeting fate

How can we wait again another day
Now that we know how fast they always slip away
Our little world’s our emphasis, this life is a parenthesis
A heartbeat in eternity’s highway

Is this a day of rest that makes me feel my best
Or just another yawn from wrong conclusions drawn
To put it off again until I’m ready then
How do I know . . . I’ll see another dawn

How can we wait again another day
Now that we know how fast they always slip away
Our little world’s our emphasis, this life is a parenthesis
A heartbeat in eternity’s highway

Break (verse structure)

But what if it turns out, we’re old as all the rest
And at the same time, forever young
And time is just a phanton, a shadow dance at best
And no one ever gets it done
No one gets it all done

So what’s the point to hurry up or to delay
When all we ever have’s forever and today
This moment is our emphasis, but life is a parenthesis
A heartbeat in eternity’s highway
This moment is our emphasis, but life is a parenthesis
A joyride in eternity’s highway (Instrumental outro - verse structure)
