Iron Henry Lyrics

Started off all wrong

Began with our best illusions

Projected needs and roles decreed

Turned us into our worst delusion

And I'll dive into the darkness

To fetch your golden ball

And you'll keep me as companion

Or cast me against the wall

And I'll dive into the darkness

To fetch your golden ball

And you'll keep me as companion

Or cast me against the wall

Realizing soon: You blew the deal

I can't keep up with you

But did you know I'd go to any lengths

To keep us dear and I still do

And I'll dive into the darkness

To fetch your golden ball

And you'll keep me as companion

Or cast me against the wall

And I'll dive into the darkness

To fetch your golden ball

And you'll keep me as companion

Or cast me against the wall

Finally understood

The remedy was your rejection

My greedy stare transformed to kinder eyes

Uncaging our true affection

King's little daughter, open to me

By the water's where you promised me

King's little daughter From plate to silken bed

Carry me, please, carry me.

O, Iron Henry, where have you been

Free your heart of every iron band

O, Iron Henry, still devoted but yet free

O, Iron Henry, you're a part of me

O, Iron Henry, where have you been

Free your heart of every iron band

O, Iron Henry, still devoted but yet free

O, Iron Henry, you're a part of me
