Lyrics The Von Bondies

The Von Bondies

Cass And 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 aspiring, bitterness

more often than love

I went down to cass and henry,

Me and my girl

I was 2 hours late

And 23 months too early

Me and my girl we were so high

So high I couldn't reach, well

Where my baby lay up in the sky

but as the day went on she was with another man

That stood about 6 foot 3, 240 pounds

By this time it was about 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

That came to take me home

When she asked how old I was I told her 22

She said 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

Just a regular woman, and a regular man

Regular woman, regular man

Regular woman

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

Hangin' out down cass and henry

The girl who broke my heart

The girl who made me wear my heart on the sleeve

I'm never, never gonna meet another girl

Never ever, never ever

And she was gone
