《He Was In Heaven Before He Died(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] He Was In Heaven Before He Died (LP版) - John Prine

[00:00:04] There's a rainbow of babies

[00:00:06] Draped over the graveyard

[00:00:09] Where all the dead sailors

[00:00:12] Wait for their brides

[00:00:15] And the cold bitter snow

[00:00:17] Has strangled each grass blade

[00:00:20] Where the salt from their tears

[00:00:22] Washed out with the tide

[00:00:24] And I smiled on the Wabash

[00:00:26] The last time I passed it

[00:00:28] Yes I gave her a wink

[00:00:30] From the passenger side

[00:00:34] And my foot fell asleep

[00:00:36] As I swallowed my candy

[00:00:38] Knowing he was in heaven

[00:00:40] Before he died

[00:00:45] Now a harbor's on fire

[00:00:47] With the dreams and desires

[00:00:50] Of a thousand young poets

[00:00:52] Who failed 'cause they tried

[00:00:56] For a rhyme without reason

[00:00:58] Floats down to the bottom

[00:01:01] Where the scavengers eat 'em

[00:01:03] And wash in with the tide

[00:01:05] And I smiled on the Wabash

[00:01:08] The last time I passed it

[00:01:09] Yes I gave her a wink

[00:01:11] From the passenger side

[00:01:15] And my foot fell asleep

[00:01:17] As I swallowed my candy

[00:01:19] Knowing he was in heaven

[00:01:21] Before he died

[00:01:26] The sun can play tricks

[00:01:28] With your eyes on the highway

[00:01:32] The moon can lay sideways

[00:01:34] Till the ocean stands still

[00:01:37] But a person can't tell

[00:01:39] His best friend he loves him

[00:01:42] Till time has stopped breathing

[00:01:44] You're alone on the hill

[00:01:46] And I smiled on the Wabash

[00:01:49] The last time I passed it

[00:01:51] Yes I gave her a wink

[00:01:53] From the passenger side

[00:01:56] And my foot fell asleep

[00:01:58] As I swallowed my candy

[00:02:00] Knowing he was in heaven

[00:02:02] Before he died
