《Halley Came To Jackson》歌词

[00:00:03] MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER - HALLEY CAME TO JACKSON

[00:00:25] Late one night when the wind was still

[00:00:31] Daddy brought the baby to the window sill

[00:00:37] To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky

[00:00:43] The one and only time daddy saw it fly

[00:00:49] It came from the east just as bright as a torch

[00:00:52] The neighbors had a party on their porch

[00:00:55] Daddy rocked the baby mother said "Amen"

[00:00:58] When Halley came to visit in 1910

[00:01:13] Now back then Jackson was a real small town

[00:01:19] And it’s not every night a comet comes around

[00:01:25] It was almost eighty years since it's last time through

[00:01:31] So I bet your mother would have said amen too

[00:01:37] As it's tailed stretched out like a stardust streak

[00:01:40] The papers wrote about it every day for a week

[00:01:43] You wondered where it’s going and where it’s been

[00:01:46] When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

[00:02:04] Now daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms

[00:02:09] To dream a little dream of a comet’s charms

[00:02:15] And he made a little wish as she slept so sound

[00:02:22] In 1986 that wish came ‘round

[00:02:27] It came from the east just as bright as a torch

[00:02:30] She saw it in the sky from her daddy’s porch

[00:02:33] As heavenly sent as it was back then

[00:02:39] When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

[00:02:54] And late one night when the wind was still
