《Heaven Ain’t Ready for You Yet(2008 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Heaven Ain't Ready For You Yet - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

[00:00:19] When they carried you into the parlor

[00:00:23] Your wounds were the worst I'd seen

[00:00:27] Cold as snow your body trembled

[00:00:31] Cradled in the arms of morphine

[00:00:35] All the kinfolk cried out loud

[00:00:39] "Good Shepherd save this man"

[00:00:43] But you whispered with icy breath

[00:00:47] "It is not in His hands " and you said

[00:00:53] "Heaven ain't ready for me yet"

[00:00:57] And you looked at me

[00:01:00] "Give me your heart and take a bet"

[00:01:05] And you held my hand

[00:01:08] "Now I've seen your face now that we've met

[00:01:13] I shall not slip away"

[00:01:23] Mama said to me "Daughter

[00:01:26] You must nurse your cousin well"

[00:01:30] So I cared for you through days and nights

[00:01:34] But your fever I did not quell

[00:01:38] For weeks I watched you suffer pain

[00:01:42] That no laudanum could ease

[00:01:46] All I had left to do is pray

[00:01:50] "Lord have mercy on him please" and you said

[00:01:57] "Heaven ain't ready for me yet"

[00:02:00] And you looked at me

[00:02:02] "Give me your heart and take a bet"

[00:02:07] And you held my hand

[00:02:11] "Now I've seen your face now that we've met

[00:02:16] I shall not slip away"

[00:02:35] Now winter's lights has cooled the air

[00:02:38] At last your strength's returned

[00:02:42] You talk to me of the life you spent

[00:02:46] And of the life you've earned

[00:02:50] You'll waste no time on vengeance

[00:02:53] You've no wish to fight again

[00:02:58] "To find peace " you say "In God we trust

[00:03:02] But little faith in man"

[00:03:09] Heaven ain't ready for you yet Jesse

[00:03:15] I'll give you my heart and I'll take a bet Jesse

[00:03:23] Now I've seen your face now that we've met

[00:03:28] I shall not slip away
