Gordon Lightfoot - Heaven Help The Devil Lyrics
In this land of chance do we know right from wrong
Even at a glance we know the road is long
We don't owe a single thing to anyone
Most of us do not believe in come what may
Everything we fought for was in vain they say
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories
In these times of trial and uncertainty
I have thought what does this freedom mean to me
Is it just some long forgotten fantasy
Our love for each other may not be explained
Most of us don't wish to cause each other pain
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories
To every unsung hero in the universe
To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
To all good men of reason may they never thirst
We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
And faith that will remain through all eternity
We try to be helpful to the ones in need
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories

Gordon Lightfoot Heaven Help The Devil Comments
I should have met Gordon Lightfoot already. He's the best.
it to bad younger people don't listen to Gordon Lightfoot His music gives me a lot of inspiration on life lot of todays music just docent have the same meaning anymore. Gordons music has genuine quality compared to all that pop and rap and crap they play on the radio now a days his music give you a good feeling puts a person at ease its like Stan Rogers and Garnet Rogers music
Absolutely one of the most gorgeous tunes Gord ever did. I can still hear Rick’s bass, loud and clear in my mind from the performance at Massey Hall.
David Andrew Rick Haynes, the most underrated bass player of the last fifty years.
My god but Gord is wonderful!
Regarding the hostage situation in Iran at the time.
Thanks for posting this wonderful Gordon Lightfoot country-folk gem.
Heaven Help the Devil 1980
In this land of chance do we know right from wrong
Even at a glance we know the road is long
We don't owe a single thing to anyone
Most of us do not believe in come what may
Everything we fought for was in vain they say
Even when called upon to throw our lives away
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasant memories
In these times of trial and uncertainty
I have thought what does this freedom mean to me
Is it just some long forgotten fantasy?
Our love for each other may not be explained
We live in a world where tears must fall like rain
Most of us don't wish to cause each other pain
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasant memories
To every unsung hero in the universe
To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
To all good men of reason may they never thirst
We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
And faith that will remain through all eternity
We try to be helpful to the ones in need
Yet we have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasant memories
