He Was In Heaven Before He Died (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]
There's a rainbow of babies[00:00:04]
Draped over the graveyard[00:00:06]
Where all the dead sailors[00:00:09]
Wait for their brides[00:00:12]
And the cold bitter snow[00:00:15]
Has strangled each grass blade[00:00:17]
Where the salt from their tears[00:00:20]
Washed out with the tide[00:00:22]
And I smiled on the Wabash[00:00:24]
The last time I passed it[00:00:26]
Yes I gave her a wink[00:00:28]
From the passenger side[00:00:30]
And my foot fell asleep[00:00:34]
As I swallowed my candy[00:00:36]
Knowing he was in heaven[00:00:38]
Before he died[00:00:40]
Now a harbor's on fire[00:00:45]
With the dreams and desires[00:00:47]
Of a thousand young poets[00:00:50]
Who failed 'cause they tried[00:00:52]
For a rhyme without reason[00:00:56]
Floats down to the bottom[00:00:58]
Where the scavengers eat 'em[00:01:01]
And wash in with the tide[00:01:03]
And I smiled on the Wabash[00:01:05]
The last time I passed it[00:01:08]
Yes I gave her a wink[00:01:09]
From the passenger side[00:01:11]
And my foot fell asleep[00:01:15]
As I swallowed my candy[00:01:17]
Knowing he was in heaven[00:01:19]
Before he died[00:01:21]
The sun can play tricks[00:01:26]
With your eyes on the highway[00:01:28]
The moon can lay sideways[00:01:32]
Till the ocean stands still[00:01:34]
But a person can't tell[00:01:37]
His best friend he loves him[00:01:39]
Till time has stopped breathing[00:01:42]
You're alone on the hill[00:01:44]
And I smiled on the Wabash[00:01:46]
The last time I passed it[00:01:49]
Yes I gave her a wink[00:01:51]
From the passenger side[00:01:53]
And my foot fell asleep[00:01:56]
As I swallowed my candy[00:01:58]
Knowing he was in heaven[00:02:00]
Before he died[00:02:02]
