Henrietta's Eyes

from Stages by Jon Porobil

/

lyrics

Have you seen her catch an inspiration from a summer breeze?
And when she dances, how her body sways in rhythm with the trees

If you could learn to see the world through Henrietta's eyes
You'd come to come to find it's something bitter

And have you seen her in the garden, making furrows in the dirt?
She pulls our dinner from the earth until her bony fingers hurt

If you could learn to see the world through Henrietta's eyes
You'd come to find it's something bitter
You might still be there on the day her fire dies
She'll still be with you but you'll miss her

I may have made her cry when pressure buckled in against her hard
But I have never sung a note as lovely as her rainbow chard

If you could learn to see the world through Henrietta's eyes
You'd come to find it's something bitter
You might still be there on the day her fire dies
She'll still be with you but you'll miss her

Put in the work, don't let her wither
Remain with her, don't let it die
Put in the work, don't let her wither
Remain with her, don't let it die
Put in the work, don't let her wither
Remain with her, don't let it die
