John Prine - He Was in Heaven Before He Died слова песни
Theres a rainbow of babiesDraped over the graveyardWhere all the dead sailorsWait for their bridesAnd the cold bitter snowHas strangled each grassbladeWhere the salt from their tearsWashed out with the tideChorusAnd I smiled on the wabashThe last time I passed itYes I gave her a winkFrom the passenger sideAnd my foot fell asleepAs I swallowed my candyKnowing he was in heavenBefore he diedNow the harbors on fireWith the dreams and desiresOf a thousand young poetsWho failed cause they triedFor a rhyme without reasonFloats down to the bottomWhere the scavengers eat emAnd wash in with the tideRepeat chorus:The sun can play tricksWith your eyes on the highwayThe moon can lay sidewaysTill the ocean stands stillBut a person cant tellHis best friend he loves himTill time has stopped breathingYoure alone on the hillRepeat chorus:
