Lyrics

I know I've sought forgotten dreams
I'll till and palm for you to listen
No stone unturned is left to keep
I give now my own admission
I'm living on some borrowed time
And I never understood why
Poultry signs led me from my homestead estate
Now I'm racing west in some faint moonlight
Morning light breaks as I tote this throw
Driving through these lonesome country roads
Forest lakes hid in by tallow trees
Timber breaking as I weave
But it's all for better, it's all for better
It's all for better, I know, I know
Oh God, I've forgotten how to pray
Make me a man like you deal with day
Faith can carry a man to his grave
Would you bury my bones by the garden gate?
'Cause it's all for better, it's all for better
It's all for better, I know, I know
Heaven's in the corner by now, let's face it
Heaven's in the corner, somehow we'll make it
Heaven's in the corner by now
Heaven's in the corner somehow
Now the sky unfolds its blackened robe
Life as it was we'll never know
Go on, sing your part and we'll see this through
Then maybe, maybe it might move you
And it's all for better, it's all for better
It's all for better, it's all for better
Heaven's in the corner by now, let's make it
Heaven's in the corner, somehow we'll face it
Heaven's in the corner by now
Heaven's in the corner somehow, my love
