Henry Songtext
von Bodi Bill

Countryside
Henry turns over

His potato field
To the left of his house

Windmill noises sound like
The rush of the sea
He gave me the curtain he used to look through
He′s reached a dead end of the rails
No walks off the beaten track


Henry is a lonesome man
From a hundred years ago
Grown up in a time of change
Never lost his childish glow
The window's telling of a lonely sun
The copper stained from years to come
He′s taking pictures of the sun
He's sighted for the calm

Countryside

Henry's up early

Awaken to the sparse empty land

The isolation is hard to stand

What love is there to demand
There is a feeling grit the path ahead
A glance, a grasp, a word and a strand
Henry is a lonesome man
From a hundred years ago
Grown up in a time of change
Never lost his childish glow
The window′s telling of a lonely sun
The copper stained from years to come
He′s taking pictures of the sun

He's sighted for the calm
