《Porter Wagoner’s Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] Porter Wagoner's Grave - Marty Stuart

[00:00:02] A world wearied man with tear filled eyes

[00:00:09] Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise

[00:00:17] Into the church meeting with this story he came

[00:00:24] Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same

[00:00:35] The preacher said sir you're welcome in here

[00:00:44] Now tell us as much as you'd want us to hear

[00:00:54] And the stranger said

[00:00:55] It was no more than an hour ago people

[00:00:58] I was looking for shelter for the night

[00:01:03] I wanted to go somewhere out of the way

[00:01:06] Somewhere peaceful and quiet

[00:01:09] So I went to a cemetery close by Thompson lane

[00:01:13] And with full respect I entered it and found rest from the rain

[00:01:19] I laid down under a sycamore and I was barely asleep

[00:01:24] When someone said 'hello stranger'

[00:01:26] And touched the boots on my feet

[00:01:30] His hair was pure silver almost like a crown of glory on top

[00:01:37] And the rain didn't touch him not one single drop

[00:01:42] His voice was familiar it brought me comfort and peace

[00:01:47] He laughed and said

[00:01:48] 'Well we picked a strange place to meet

[00:01:51] But I understand I've often come here to pray

[00:01:55] When the burdens of life put stones in my way

[00:01:59] And you see friend you and me we're brothers

[00:02:03] Though we've never met

[00:02:06] We've both known heartache disappointment

[00:02:09] And the pain of regret

[00:02:11] The full weight of sadness love and its cost

[00:02:15] And without love a soul is nothing but empty and lost

[00:02:22] And I've come to tell you to go on now and be brave

[00:02:26] You can live again

[00:02:29] You know it's her love that you crave

[00:02:31] Go find the one you left behind hold her

[00:02:35] Take her by the hand

[00:02:37] Show her how much you need her

[00:02:39] I believe she'll understand

[00:02:42] Now son you take a look at this ground

[00:02:44] It's filled with things unsaid

[00:02:47] There's a world of good intentions here

[00:02:49] In the land of the dead

[00:02:51] And friend I'm here to tell you on this very night

[00:02:55] I was sent by your maker the giver of life

[00:02:59] To tell you there's rest for your soul

[00:03:02] There's peace and relief

[00:03:04] If you'll just surrender your burdens

[00:03:07] Lay them at god's feet

[00:03:09] Walk out of this place

[00:03:11] Go now and live

[00:03:13] In the light of a pure perfect presence

[00:03:16] That loves and forgives'

[00:03:20] He wore a long purple coat covered in wheels

[00:03:29] Red leather boots with sparkling heels

[00:03:37] On a dark stormy night a lost soul was saved

[00:03:45] Brought into the fold on porter wagoner's grave
