Lyrics: Deacon Blue. Last Night I Dreamed Of Henry Thomas.

Lily Love
That's a beautiful name
Your precious gifts are not the same
Since they faded away

The song so distant
But it still rings true your
Beautiful hands were rudely used
To make things pay

Every minute of every day
You don't get angry
'Bout what's taken away
Is only real life

Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will bring the sad heart
The cold heart to love again

Last night, I dreamed of
Henry Thomas in
Delta light, his rusty pipes
They drifted away

He was standing in some
Dusty patch, it felt so close
That I could almost catch
His breath on me

Every minute of every day
You don't get angry
'Bout what's taken away
Is only real life

Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart to love again

Every minute of every day
You don't get angry
'Bout what's taken away
Is only real life

Every second of eternal light
Piercing through this sorrowful night
Will make the sad heart
The cold heart to love again

Last night, I dreamed of
Henry Thomas and the blues
Last night, I dreamed of
Henry Thomas and the blues
