Intro: verse 1: There's a rainbow of babies Draped over the graveyard Where all the dead sailors Wait for their brides And the cold bitter snow Has strangled each grass-blade Where the salt from their tears Washed in with the tide And I smiled on the Wabash The last time I passed it I gave her a wink From the passenger side My foot fell asleep As I swallowed my candy Knowing he was in heaven Before he died verse 2: Now the harbour's on fire With the dreams and desires Of a thousand young poets Who failed 'cause they tried For a rhyme without reason Floats down to the bottom Where the scavengers eat 'em And wash out with the tide And I smiled on the Wabash The last time I passed it I gave her a wink From the passenger side My foot fell asleep As I swallowed my candy Knowing he was in heaven Before he died Instrumental:
