through a glass

Singer: henry jamison

through the glass of the bottle

all is green and bends

and seeing her distorted so

i went through hell and back again

she was my dearest friend

but she will go to heaven

so maybe i can see her then

well

my car will barely start

i gotta get it to vermont

she spent her summers in bar harbor

working in a restaurant

and she had a lotta boyfriends

i count the ones i know

as i shudder through new hampshire

wes hartley on the radio

god-god-god damn the girl was fine

and i was glad to call her mine

she weren't mine and i weren't hers

i lost her at the five and dime

she was talking to a 6'5 ex-marine
