Henry's Song

spoken word

You call my name through empty years,

I hear you, though you're far away.

I'm not the man who marched to war,

But I remember every day.

Haaahhhhhhhh

Mmmmmm....

Verse 1

Dear Emily I know you miss me

Please know that I miss you too

Tell the kids that their father loves them

I know that you all feel blue

You don't know I've become a Horseboy

A hero of time and space

But if I stood before you tomorrow

You wouldn't recognise my face

Chorus

They said I was missing in action

They don't know if I'm dead or alive

My life is now in the future

They'll never know that I survived

Bridge

That portal took me

That portal shook me

A hero I became

Those robots changed me

Rearranged me

A Horseboy will never be lame

Verse

Though I don't regret what I did in Flanders

I know that I'll never return

Chosen from those all around me

you know It's for you that I yearn

mmmmmm....

Even though you can't see me

I see you through the stratosphere

With This plastic heart of mine now

I still love you - my Emily dear

final CHORUS

They said I was missing in action

They don't know if I'm dead or alive

My life is now in the future

Still wishing I could say goodbye

yeah

They said I was missing in action

They don't know if I'm dead or alive

My life is now in the future
