Generate meaning
1
When they carried you into the parlor
2
Your wounds were the worst I'd seen
3
Cold as snow as your body trembled
4
Cradled in the arms of morphine
5
All the kinfolk cried out loud
6
"Good Shepherd save this man"
7
But you whispered with icy breath
8
"It is not in His hands," and you said
9
"Heaven ain't ready for me yet," and you looked at me
10
"Give me your heart and take a bet," and you held my hand
11
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
12
"I shall not slip away"
13
Mama said to me, "daughter
14
"You must nurse your cousin well"
15
So I cared for you through days and nights
16
But your fever I did not quell
17
For weeks I watched you suffer pain
18
That no laudanum could ease
19
All I had left to do is pray
20
"Lord have mercy on him please," and you said
21
"Heaven ain't ready for me yet," and you looked at me
22
"Give me your heart and take a bet," and you held my hand
23
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
24
"I shall not slip away"
25
Now winter's lights has cooled the air
26
At last your strength's returned
27
You talk to me of the life you spent
28
And of the life you've earned
29
You'll waste no time on vengeance
30
You've no wish to fight again
31
"To find peace," you say, "In God we trust
32
"But little faith in Man"
33
Heaven aint' ready for you yet, Jesse
34
I'll give you my heart, I'll take a bet, Jesse
35
Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
36
I shall not slip away
Heaven Only Knows. Emmylou Harris.
