Mary Chapin Carpenter - Halley Came To Jackson

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Halley Came To Jackson

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

Mirror lyrics:

Late one night when the wind was still
When Halley came to Jackson in nineteen ten
As heavenly sent as it was back then
She saw it in the sky from her daddy's porch
It came from the east, just as bright as a torch

In nineteen eighty-six that wish came 'round
And he made a little wish as she slept so sound
To dream a little dream of a comet's charms
Now Daddy told the baby sleeping in his arms

When Halley came to Jackson in 1910
They wondered where it's going and where it's been
The papers wrote about it every day for a week
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak

So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
It was almost eighty years since its last time through
And it's not every night a comet comes around
Now back then Jackson was a real small town

When Halley came to visit in nineteen ten
Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "amen"
The neighbors had a party on their porch
It came from the east just as bright as a torch

The one and only time Daddy saw it fly
To see a bit of heaven shoot across the sky
Daddy brought the baby to the window sill
Late one night when the wind was still
