《Heaven Bound And Glory Be》歌词

[00:00:00] Heaven Bound And Glory Be - Kevin Devine

[00:00:11] A reporter in a jailroom whispering her source to a dying bulb

[00:00:22] While the prince is in a fable peaceful in his cradle

[00:00:28] Convinced of the impossible

[00:00:33] All those wicked words I used to build my wild Western truth

[00:00:44] I was just following the rules yeah I did what I had to do

[00:00:55] So now it's later than it needs to be

[00:01:01] And in the dulcet tones of dream

[00:01:07] The prince atop his chariot

[00:01:11] Heaven bound and glory be

[00:01:19] A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows

[00:01:30] While the father on the barstool dropped off by his carpool

[00:01:36] Is playing a familiar role

[00:01:42] I used to be a conquering king

[00:01:47] I watched the slow stars shoot and swing

[00:01:53] When I'd wake the world would sing

[00:01:59] But now I can't hear anything

[00:02:04] So now its later than it needs to be

[00:02:10] And while his stranger family sleeps

[00:02:17] The king looks for his castle

[00:02:20] Heaven bound and glory be

[00:02:27] There's a myth we must've made

[00:02:33] One we're spreading every day

[00:02:39] In every dying dream we grieve

[00:02:45] The humming hole we fight and feed

[00:02:51] It's the loving lives we long for

[00:02:54] Heaven bound and glory be

[00:03:03] A man in a hotel room tangled to his teeth by the telephone

[00:03:15] He's waiting on a woman wondering what she's doing

[00:03:21] pacing And so his pulse won't slow

[00:03:26] He drums his legs and pulls his hair he carves her dimples in the air

[00:03:38] The raging world has spooked him scared

[00:03:43] And he don't want her lost out there

[00:03:49] So now it's later than it needs to be

[00:03:55] And though his aching eyes want sleep

[00:04:01] Against all rationality

[00:04:06] Against everything he believes

[00:04:13] He prays for her protection

[00:04:16] Heaven bound and glory be

[00:04:25] He prays for her protection

[00:04:28] Heaven bound and glory be oh oh

[00:04:36] I pray for your protection

[00:04:40] Heaven bound and glory be
