Late train to heaven — текст песни (The Waterboys)

I was talking to John
he was dressed all in black
He was learning, he said
to never look back
Bells in his ears
he turned and disappeared
But I`ve known him for years
where`d he go?
A head full of snow
on the late train to heaven

Augustus my friend
dressed in velvet and scarf
He`s purging himself
he`s refusing to laugh
Pale as the moon
his words fill the room
He`ll be travelling soon
where`s he bound?
Higher ground
on the late train to heaven

I whispered to you now
but I didn`t mean a word
It was just a small madness
pretend you never heard
Pretend you`re here with Larry
pretend you`re here with Lee
Pretend you`re with anyone but me
I didn`t come with you, I`m gone
And my seat`s waiting on
the late train
Forever on the late
the late train
I`m ready for the late
the late train to heaven

On the late train to heaven
