Mary Chapin Carpenter - Halley Came To Jackson слова песни
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)Late one night when the wind was stillDaddy brought the baby to the window sillTo see a bit of heaven shoot across the skyThe one and only time Daddy saw it flyIt came from the east just as bright as a torchThe neighbors had a party on their porchDaddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"When Halley came to visit in nineteen tenNow back then Jackson was a real small townAnd it`s not every night a comet comes aroundIt was almost eighty years since its last time throughSo I bet your mother would`ve said "amen" tooAs its tail stretched out like a stardust streakThe papers wrote about it every day for a weekThey wondered where it`s going and where it`s beenWhen Halley came to Jackson in 1910Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his armsTo dream a little dream of a comet`s charmsAnd he made a little wish as she slept so soundIn nineteen eighty-six that wish came `round It came from the east, just as bright as a torchShe saw it in the sky from her daddy`s porchAs heavenly sent as it was back thenWhen Halley came to Jackson in nineteen tenLate one night when the wind was still
