sleeper - poor henry lyrics

[verse 1]
one day henry went out to buy cigarettes
that’s how it started then
that’s how it started then
when he came back he proposed and she said yes
that’s how it happened then
that’s how it happened then

[verse 2]
mary called her cousins on her mother’s side
that’s when he changed his mind
that’s when he changed his mind
gave no explanation which was so unkind
that’s how he broke her heart
that’s how he broke her hеart

[chorus]
now poor henry wanders the vallеys
till they turn to stone
three torches, twenty+four batteries
won’t last all that long

[verse 3]
he was no good, everyone could see but you
that’s what friends all say
that’s what friends all say
mary nods her head but knows it isn’t true
he was a decent man
he drove an ice+cream van
[verse 4]
she had always planned on being quite the bride
with henry at her side
with henry at her side
henry really loved her but he hated furs
that’s how he broke her heart
that’s why he broke her heart

[chorus]
now poor henry wanders the valleys
till they turn to stone
three torches, twenty+four batteries
won’t last all that long
poor mary shops in the valley
for some brand new clothes
three tank tops, twenty+four dresses
in case henry calls

[outro]
and that was so unkind
that was so unkind
poor henry changed his mind
poor henry changed his mind
