The Shot Heard 'round The Block

from The Trials Of Henry (fdm154) by Chris Anderson

/

lyrics

among the wilds and the winds
i felt a shiver, like to never end
she took me down, i was the light
before the fire struck and knocked me out
all right

leave nothing but the wind
leave nothing but the wind

will you ever smile again, my friend
don't let it tear you up
don't let it get you down
will you ever smile again, my friend
before the curtain knocks you out

another moment in this shade
these caterwauls don't seem to fade away
they keep on screaming at me now
but still i hang onto this dream somehow

leave nothing but the wind
leave nothing but the wind

will you ever smile again, my friend
don't let it do you in
don't let it do you wrong
will you ever smile again, my friend
before the curtain knocks you out

i felt the shot heard 'round the block
and stopped to think about the cold steel shock
oh, tell me dear, how does it feel
to know what lies beyond the edge of "real"

leave nothing but the wind
leave nothing but the wind

will you ever smile again, my friend…
