William Henry Lyrics

Tw Walsh William Henry

since you leftthere's been some dissention in the ranks
bad news from above
they're closing all the banks
more or less
it happens to the best
you were in The War
the never-ending test
you built ships from blood and steel
proved that World War II was real
i built a bagpipe that had gills

your ghost said 'feed it to the seals'
in the sea
there's a 40 fathom tree
if you try to peel the bark
you start to look like he
back at home
the waves have turned to foam
i built a statue out of sand
but the hands are made of chrome
you built ships from blood and steel
proved that World War II was real
i built a bagpipe that had gills
your ghost said 'feed it to the seals'
