Whistle Down The Wind movie - Charlie Christmas lyrics
rate me<br>
<br>
[The Man]<br>
Charlie went out to the gambling hall<br>
And he started to play on the roulette wheel<br>
With a quarter on the red and his head in his hands<br>
As he watched and he waited till the ball came to rest<br>
<br>
Old Charlie never moved, he just let his money ride<br>
And the red won again, and again, and again<br>
He won sixteen times before they found out he was dead<br>
For the whole time, what a wonder, he was dead, but still a winner<br>
Imagine the shock and the stunning loss of pride<br>
For the house had been losing to a man who had died<br>
There's gotta come a time when we all gotta go<br>
The start is always fast but the ends always slow<br>
[Swallow]<br>
And the moral is? and the moral is?<br>
And the moral is? and the moral is?<br>
[The Man]<br>
When miss Annie found out she put a gun to her head<br>
It was loaded, sixteen bullets<br>
She was all dressed in black, she had her necklace on<br>
When she fired sixteen bullets<br>
<br>
Her sons put her in a coffin then they put it in a hearse<br>
It was drawn by sixteen horses<br>
Then they all got on a barge and they drifted out to sea<br>
To see a fallen angel, whose fall was over<br>
A fallen angel, with a moustache<br>
<br>
And there's gotta come a time when we've all gotta go<br>
You start out always fast but the ends always slow<br>
There's gotta come a time when we've all gotta go<br>
You start out always fast but the ends always slow<br>
[Swallow, Brat & Poor Baby]<br>
And the moral is? and the moral is?<br>
And the moral is? and the moral is?<br>
[The Man]<br>
It was their time to go so they went<br>
<br>
<br>
They ask what the moral of the story was, he replies that it was their time <br>
was up so they went. Poor baby is not satisfied with the mans reason and <br>
again accuses him of just being a fella. He storms out of the barn.<br>
The man explains to swallow that everyone has to die sometime, even her <br>
mother. He tells her that things sometimes just happen. She tells him that is <br>
what happened to you, people don't see how beautiful and sweet you are and <br>
that she loves him.<br>
The man asks her to kiss him goodnight. She tells him that she was almost <br>
killed by a train but she was not scared because she knew he was with her in <br>
her heart and that he loved her.<br>
Swallow leaves and the man contemplates the regrets that he has had in life <br>
while open ing the package that Swallow delivered.<br>
It is a gun.<br>
"You can say a prayer for every one, that there could ever be<br>
Say a prayer for all of these and more, but there's still no prayer for me<br>
Say a prayer for your purest daughter, toll a bell for your only son<br>
There's no way out, and all my prayers are loaded in this gun"<br>
The highway lowers to reveal Candy waiting for Amos to take her away from town.<br>
Candy sings Off ramp exit to paradise...<br>
<br>
