lyrics

A Night Beyond Repair

Past southern shrines, made up minds
liquor stores and copper mines
she saw the Angel Oak one day
drove out west but unimpressed, came back home to decompress
said we’re much better than all of this

busy roads, ethylene, little children quarantined
there’s a view from Widow Rock to sea
the lake is down and losing ground, people watching with no sound
say we’re much better than all of this

as light well knows what matters is it shows
on the faces of the workers as they come and go
bringing home a decent pay to picnic on a Saturday
and maybe fly one day to Mexico

life gets away like a mink slips into Shanty Bay, takes a breath and gone
you wait too long to talk, guilty or just scared to balk
as truth shines in like the morning sun


now it’s one more Friday night and soon she can’t talk
and soon he can’t walk, and someone trips the fire door
how we gettin’ home tonight guys, how we gettin’ home
the landscape changed, it’s rearranged
let’s steal a boat and row

moon shines on the bay, they’re coming for us anyway
from Government Dock we’ll sprint the blocks
to home and light of day


you heal, you cry, you burn away inside
no need to say how hard you tried, just carry on
morning calls, evening falls, streets, paths and dim-lit halls
just go until you find your way and work until you’re done

how we gettin’ home tonight, how we gettin’ there
friends are out and all about and it’s like some county fair
how we gettin’ home tonight and do we really care

toss your keys to the summer breeze, the moon will pull us there
we live for this impromptu bliss, a night beyond repair
as candles on the water glow like evening prayer

about

The Henrys image

The Henrys Toronto, Ontario

Toronto Star:

"Old instruments, new sounds’ is the way Rooke describes what The Henrys do - they extract from a resonator guitar and other plucked acoustic instruments the harmonics, overtones and oblique noises behind the rustic notes to create landscapes that are aston­ishingly romantic, frightening, sexual, spiritual - and quite beautiful. Brave new music." ... more
