The telephone slips from the loose grip
Words were missed then, some apology
I did not want to let you know this
No, it is simply some guy she has been spending time with
I’m not sure, yesteryear couple days I suppose
Well, thanks and the telephone
Allow the funeral start
Hear the casket close
Let us pin split-black ribbon for your overcoat
Well, laughter flows from under doorways
Within this house, I do not realize that seem forget about
Appears artificial, just like a T.V. set
Well, haligh, haligh, wrong, haligh
This weight it should be satisfied
You are offering just one reply
You realize not that which you do
However, you tear and tear hair from roots
Of this same mind you’ve two times removed now
A lock of hair you stated would prove
Our love would not die
Well ha ha ha
I recall everything
The language we spoke on freezing South Street
And all sorts of individuals mornings watching you prepare for school
You combed hair within that mirror
The main one you colored blue and glued with jewellery tears
Something about individuals vibrant colors
Would always cause you to feel better
However we consult with destroyed tongues
And also the words we are saying aren’t intended for anybody
It is simply a mumbled sentence to some passing acquaintance
But there is when you
You stated you hate my suffering
And also you understood
And you’d take proper care of me
You’d continually be there
Well where are you currently now?
Haligh, haligh, wrong, haligh
The plans weren’t finalized
But left to hold like yarn and twine
Dangling before my eyes
While you tear and tear hair from roots
Of this same mind you’ve two times removed now
A lock of hair you stated would prove
Our love would not die
And That I sing and sing of awful things
The pleasure that my sadness brings
As my fingers press to the strings
In another clumsy chord
Haligh, haligh, a terrible lie
This weight would certainly be satisfied
I am gonna provide you with just one reply
I understand not who I’m
However I talk within the mirror
Towards the stranger that seems
Our conversations are circles
Always one sided
There is nothing obvious
Except we revisit
For this and therefore I lack
He states the options received
Isn’t it about time live them
Or simply not live
But would you like that?
