lirik lagu john prine - he was in heaven before he died
there’s a rainbow of babies
draped over the graveyard
where all the dead sailors
wait for their brides
and the cold bitter snow
has strangled each gr-ssblade
where the salt from their tears
washed out with the tide
chorus
and i smiled on the wabash
the last time i p-ssed it
yes i gave her a wink
from the p-ssenger side
and my foot fell asleep
as i swallowed my candy
knowing he was in heaven
before he died
now the harbor’s on fire
with the dreams and desires
of a thousand young poets
who failed ’cause they tried
for a rhyme without reason
floats down to the bottom
where the scavengers eat ’em
and wash in with the tide
repeat chorus:
the sun can play tricks
with your eyes on the highway
the moon can lay sideways
till the ocean stands still
but a person can’t tell
his best friend he loves him
till time has stopped breathing
you’re alone on the hill
repeat chorus:
