Chorus:
Henry
Can you find me water
Henry
I do love your daughter
My name is Henry Crossenfeld
I punch holes in the ground
I am crazy so they say
But they still come around
They need water for their lives
I dig wells by trade
They bring money, they bring hope
And the deal gets made
I kissed a pretty girl one time
And she kissed me back
She left me with our daughter
And she walked north up the track
We got a post card from Detroit
A Chevy framed in blue
She wished for us an easy life
But it has not come true
(Chorus)
April grew up tall and strong
A willow in the spring
She never spoke a single word
But softly she would sing
Strange and distant melodies
Of lost December lies
No man that I ever saw
Could catch her blue-green eyes
From dawn to dusk I’m in the woods
With my drilling gear
The glade is still and peaceful but
The roar is all I hear
The tailings rise up from below
By the end of day
They have water they have life
And I just fade away
(Chorus)
