lyrics

The rough wind of the deepest South blew on his first wrinkles,
while his sooty hair was riding the silence of a warm summer night.
His voice, raspy and feeble,
had caressed the joyful memories
and tickled the gloomier ones in the dusk of the last sun
but he felt the heart in his throat and betrayal hands in constant tremble, nervous, like the ice that wedges into Minnesota’s cold winter,
while the quiet waters of the Arkansas River
flowed limpid like his youthful years spent in Tulsa
and turbid as those in Monroe.

(but) Henry thought that two rifle shots could change his destiny

The bristly beard was spotted with a sudden rain of cherries
in the marble silence of a gaze that lost its vitality;
A deep sigh pervaded the walls of wisteria,
while the acrid smell of gunpowder invaded the acute fragrance of fields in bloom;
cold-blooded, he picked up the little dignity left and directed the exhausted remains on Bill's creaking veranda, took out a cigarette, took a puff and contemplated the infinite;
with a clear white handkerchief he wiped his forehead, then took off his boots and lowered the brim of his dusty Fedora, opened his mouth and bang.

(but) Henry thought that two rifle shots could change his destiny
