Henry And Mabel Songtext / Lyric

From the moment it's calling you see that I'm falling

The last thing I remember is floating away in a dream

Where Henry and Mabel have set the table for me

Well they ain't religious so we do not bother to pray

The first time I saw you I knew you forever

We went to the river like sisters and brothers

We got in a boot to...

We took that boot to the other side

That's when Henry started to speak

He says that time is the notion, our blood is the ocean, he says

And all our great stories are only for the glory of men

And as time is unfolding we're still so far from the 'truth

He says, "It ain't superstition and not a religion"

The first time I saw you I knew you forever

Without hesitation we were together

Surrendered our hearts to

Have it all, have it all

'Cause everyones life is sand in the wind

'Cause everyones life has a hole in the middle of it

And no one really wants to know it, or to say it, or to feel it

She looked at her city her gold streets stood empty

She took it for granted that she really needs him

He left for forever

In the middle of the night the church bell is ringing

The wretch on the floor, he's quietly crying

And calls out her name
