Ticket to Heaven — текст песни (Mark Knopfler)

I can see what youre looking to find

In the smile on my face

In my peace of mind

In my state of grace

I send what I can

To the man from the ministry

Hes a part of heavens plan

And he talks to me



Now I send what I can to the man

With the diamond ring

Hes a part of heavens plan

And he sure can sing

Now its all I can afford

But the lord has sent me eternity

Its to save the little children

In a poor country



I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

I got a ride all the way to paradise

I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

All the way to paradise



Now theres nothing left for luxuries

Nothing left to pay my heating bill

But the good lord will provide

I know he will

So send what you can

To the man with the diamond ring

Theyre tuning in across the land

To hear him sing



I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

I got a ride all the way to paradise

I got my ticket to heaven

And everlasting life

All the way to paradise
