Cass & Henry

I saw a reflection of a shadow

of a woman I once loved

There stood my faith, my own

reflection, bitterness more often than love

So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope

to reach my love

But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness

more often than love

I went down to cass,

to meet up with my girl

I was 2 hours late

And 23 months too early

believing my girl would leave me so high

So high I couldnt reach, well

Where my baby lay up in the sky

a ??? took upon me as the day went on,

she was with another man, stood about 6 foot 3

240 pounds, a giant compared to me

it was my mouth and his might,

it was gonna be a long long day going on.

By this time it was 12:30

And I was passed out on the ground

Saw a hand to reach down and help me up

She was the prettiest little thing

and came to take me home

When she asked how old I was I told her 22

She told me she was 19 and the day was young

So she took me home to her parents house

I had no idea why

I was going to her parents house

but I was a man, making a woman

make me a man, making a woman.

I saw a reflection of a shadow

of a woman I once loved

There stood my faith, my own

reflection, bitterness more often than love

So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope

to reach my love

But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness

more often than love

Its been about a year and I saw her the other day

**the next few lines overlap**

Hangin' out down cass and henry

hanging like my heart was on a sleeve, on my sleeve

my one armed cutie

my diamond in the rough

The girl who broke my heart

my 19 year old dream

made me wear my heart on my sleeve

the sleeve I wipe my tears with

she had my heart, my little diamond, my sapphire in the rough..it was gone, so gone.

I'm never, never gonna meet another girl

Never ever, never ever

And she was gone
