Текст (слова) песни: Mary Chapin Carpenter - Halley Came To Jackson
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Late one night when the wind was still Daddy brought the baby to the window sill To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
It came from the east just as bright as a torch The neighbors had a party on their porch Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen" When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
Now back then Jackson was a real small town And it`s not every night a comet comes around It was almost eighty years since its last time through So I bet your mother would`ve said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak The papers wrote about it every day for a week They wondered where it`s going and where it`s been When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms To dream a little dream of a comet`s charms And he made a little wish as she slept so sound In nineteen eighty-six that wish came `round
It came from the east, just as bright as a torch She saw it in the sky from her daddy`s porch As heavenly sent as it was back then When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten Late one night when the wind was still
