lyrics

O Henry

She said to me
You can swim out to sea, you can fly through the air

I came to Berlin to change everything
Oh henry
Arrived wide eyed waiting in cold grey snow
To begin again
Arrived staring winter waiting through iunlblinking windows

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And she said to me
You can swim out to sea
You can fly through the air
I’ll follow you there

In a Yokohama onsen looking out across the bay
Nodding and pointing
A few worlds away
Another winters day
Confused and immersed
Deep in my bones boiling looking for rest

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And she said to me You can swim out to sea
You can fly through the air
I’ll follow you there

If you have three kind words
If you have two
If you have one kind word

If this is too far to go, if you don’t know
If you don’t say so, If you can’t say no
I’ll follow

The leaves outside waiting
To be put back on the trees
Remind me of a story by O Henry
About giving and gifts
She cut off her long black hair to buy him a watch chain
He sold his watch to buy her a hair clip

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And she said to me
You can swim out to sea You can fly through the air
I’ll follow you there
