about

----------
Henry remembers the experience of death all too well; laying, dying in that darkened room, quite alone. The perspective that expiration has granted him has provided the clarity of hindsight and a new insight. It is at this juncture that he is allowed to speak for himself and reflect upon the evidence laid out before him.
----------

lyrics

Never understood how
I got so worn out
Became so boring ---
Once was exciting
All seems like yesterday
Did it all just sublimate?
In the blinking of an eye ---
One of two that’re so tired
And all I say now is
Can’t understand how…
But Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.

All the days of my life
Lined up in a neat line
Where I kissed my first love
The house where I grew up
All the friends I once had
Came and went like fickle fads
Gone into the shadows
Left for Time to swallow
What then do I know?
It’s the Henry Boring Show!
But Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.

When the war was all won
Couldn't stand what I'd done
But it was only orders
Perimeters, borders….
What about my children?
What did I teach them?
When did I lose them?
What would I say to them?
Something quite awful
Makes me uncomfortable
But, Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.

Nothing really matters
In the unravelling of Time
Love lies in tatters
Shreds of gold throughout my life
All precious Memory
So don’t you worry
Don’t you worry about
Worry about me.

I love this old town
But something broke down
Still so much happening
Always gently humming
Behind a white piano
It's a song we all know
It's sad and real slow
Just stops when we’re old
But let me be clear
I’ve lived and died here
So Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
Baby, don't you worry ‘bout me.
