[00:16.35]The phone slips from a loose grip.
[00:24.66]Words were missed then some apology
[00:31.98]like I didn't want to tell you this it's just some guys
[00:37.06]she has been hanging out with
[00:40.55]oh I don't know the past couple of weeks I guess.
[00:47.23]Thank you and hang up the phone.
[00:50.12]Let the funeral start.
[00:51.99]Hear the casket close.
[00:54.35]Let's pin split-black ribbon onto your overcoat.
[01:02.25]Still laughter pours from under doors in this house.
[01:06.19]I don't understand that sound no more.
[01:10.29]It seems artificial like a T.V. set.
[01:18.03]Haligh, Haligh,Haligh, Haligh
[01:21.90]this weight it must be satisfied.
[01:25.65]You offer only one reply.
[01:29.41]You know not what you do.
[01:32.91]But you tear and tear your hair from roots.
[01:36.76]From that same head you have twice removed
[01:40.33]a lock of hair you said would prove
[01:44.05]our love would never die.
[01:46.72]Well ha ha ha.
[01:49.49]
[01:52.34]But I remember everything
[01:55.33]the words we spoke on freezing South street.
[01:59.92]And all those morning watching you
[02:02.90]get ready for school.
[02:06.98]You combed your hair inside that mirror.
[02:10.03]The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears.
[02:14.65]Something about those bright colors
[02:17.21]always made you feel better.
[02:21.73]but now we speak with ruined tongues
[02:25.02]and the words we say aren't' meant for anyone.
[02:29.18]It's just a mumbled sentence to
[02:32.29]a passing acquaintance,
[02:34.60]but there was once
[02:36.12]you said you hated my suffering
[02:39.30]and you understood
[02:41.54]and you'd take care of me.
[02:44.44]You would always be there,
[02:46.75]well where are you now?
[02:51.89]Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh,
[02:55.30]the plans were never finalized
[02:58.96]but left to hang like yarn and twice
[03:02.74]dangling before my eyes.
[03:06.20]As you tear and tear your hair from roots,
[03:09.93]from that same head that you have twice removed
[03:13.38]a lock of hair you said would prove
[03:17.27]that our love would never die.
[03:20.67]As I sing and sing of awful things,
[03:24.53]the pleasure that my sadness brings
[03:27.94]as my fingers press onto the strings
[03:31.58]you get another clumsy chord.
[03:35.27]Haligh, Haligh,
[03:36.98]an awful lie.
[03:38.93]This weight will now be satisfied.
[03:42.45]I will give you only one reply,
[03:46.50]I know not who I am
[03:49.22]but I talk in the mirror
[03:52.74]to the stranger that appears.
[03:55.77]Our conversations are circles
[03:58.19]and always one sided,
[04:00.01]nothing is clear.
[04:03.26]Except we keep coming back
[04:06.83]to this meaning that I lack.
[04:09.92]He says the choices were given
[04:12.26]and now you must live them or just not live,
[04:18.82]but do you want that?
