[al:Henry's Dream]
[00:01.21]It was the dirty end of winter
[00:05.59]Along the loom of the land
[00:09.84]When I walked with sweet Sally
[00:14.29]Hand upon hand
[00:17.19]
[00:17.88]
[00:18.78]And the wind it bit bitter
[00:22.32]For a boy of no means
[00:26.26]With no shoes on his feet
[00:30.50]And a knife in his jeans
[00:33.21]
[00:34.29]
[00:34.94]Along the loom of the land
[00:39.14]The mission bells peeled
[00:43.12]From the tower at Saint Mary's
[00:47.07]Down to Reprobate Fields
[00:49.92]
[00:50.47]
[00:51.36]And I saw that the world
[00:55.60]Was all blessed and bright
[00:59.39]And Sally breathed softly
[01:04.03]In the majestic night
[01:07.68]
[01:08.23]
[01:08.67]O baby please don't cry
[01:12.18]And try to keep
[01:16.38]Your little hand upon my shoulder
[01:22.51]Now go to sleep
[01:26.61]
[01:27.10]
[01:27.59]The elms and the poplars
[01:31.25]Were turning their backs
[01:35.47]Past the rumbling station
[01:39.58]We followed the tracks
[01:42.74]
[01:43.03]
[01:43.62]We found an untrodden path
[01:47.92]And followed it down
[01:52.50]The moon in the sky
[01:56.60]Like a dislodged crown
[01:59.74]
[02:00.04]
[02:01.24]My hands they burned
[02:05.13]In the folds of her coat
[02:08.77]Breathing milky white air
[02:13.22]From deep in her throat
[02:16.92]
[02:17.26]
[02:17.61]O baby please don't cry
[02:21.35]And try to keep
[02:25.54]Your little head upon my shoulder
[02:31.98]Now go to sleep
[02:35.02]
[02:35.57]
[02:54.83]I told Sally in whispers
[02:58.82]I'll never bring you harm
[03:02.97]Her breast it was small
[03:06.92]And warm in my palm
[03:09.17]
[03:09.51]
[03:09.91]I told her the moon
[03:13.90]Was a magical thing
[03:17.84]That it shone gold in winter
[03:22.13]And silver in spring
[03:25.33]
[03:25.48]
[03:25.89]And we walked and walked
[03:30.27]Across the endless sands
[03:34.51]Just me and my Sally
[03:38.52]Along the loom of the land
[03:42.10]
[03:42.36]
[03:42.65]O baby please don't cry
[03:46.75]And try to keep
[03:50.74]Your little head upon my shoulder
[03:57.24]Now go to sleep
[04:07.62][04:06.54][04:05.23][04:04.47][04:03.53][04:01.12][04:00.98][04:00.78]
