The Late King Henry
The Wooden Sky

Well we built this house on a well of lies,
And when the walls fell in I came to realize,
That if your love don't leave you, then you're old,
Hey baby we've got it made.


Well the river rose up and came to me last night,
And took the hat right off my head, You said:
Honey don't you let it push you on your back,
Because honey you still got your _______

Common and save me,
Take me to the river and bath me,
Just let nobody else claim me,
Honey take me to the river and name me,
Tell me that it's alright.

Well the late King Henry came to me last night,
And said You get your wings when you go straight
Well nobody on the river ever needed to fly,
To lead their poor hearts astray.

Common and save me,
Take me to the river and bath me,
Just don't let nobody else claim me,
Honey take me to the river and change me,
Tell me that it's alright.

Yeah, tell me that it's alright!
