[Verse 1]
This heaven that I'm holding, it ain't heaven-sent
It ain't glory-bound, it's a fast train headed south
This heaven that I'm holding, it's not forevermore
It's not for everyone, it's a lonely setting sun

[Chorus]
This heaven that I'm holding is golden and bright
This heaven that I'm holding is holdin' me tight tonight

[Verse 2]
This heaven that I'm holding don't cost much of anything
You can hear the angels sing empty songs with broken wings
When a heart grows weary start lookin for the light
And when there's nothin' else to try, you keep searchin' for a different high

[Chorus]
This heaven that I'm holding is golden and bright
This heaven that I'm holding is holdin' me tight tonight
