Heaven's the Only Place - Doug MacLeod

I went to see a gypsy, she stayed deep up in the woods

I wanted to know my future, for her to tell me all she could

Her eyes rolled back, she looked inside her head

I’ve seen your road boy, and here’s what lies ahead

And then she said, «Boy, you’ll know a life of rejection,

Conjection, injection, subjection at most every turn.

And as you walk this earth you’re gonna' learn that

Heaven’s The Only Place where a fool never burns

A night wind it started howling, Lord it chilled me to the bone

Her black eyes danced above the candlelight, I swear I saw

A shadow walk alone I said, «Miss Lady, can you tell me when does

A boy become a man?»

When the question doesn’t matter,

Then you’ll understand

I went back to see the gypsy, her house was boarded up and

She was gone.

A Carolina moon shown bright that night, and I realized

That shadows don’t walk alone

And then I heard her say, «Boy, you’ll know a life of rejection,

Conjection, injection, subjection at most every turn.

And as you walk this earth you’re gonna' learn that

Heaven’s The Only Place where a fool never burns
