Telephone Wire - Beth Malone/Michael Cerveris

Telephone wire run and run

Telephone wire sun down on the creek

Partly frozen partly flowing

Must be windy trees are bending

Junction 50 field needs mowing

Feels like the car is floating

Say something talk to him

Say something anything

At the light at the light at the light at the light

At the light at the light at the light at the light

Like you could say

So how does it feel to know that you and I are both

But dad I'm not twenty-one

Telephine wire long black wire

Telephone wire finely threaded sky

There's the pond where I went wading

There's a sign for sugar valley on the mountain light is fading

I go back to school tomorrow

Say something talk to him

Say something anything

At the light at the light at the light at the light

At the light at the light at the light at the light

Doesn't matter what you say just make the fear in his eyes go away

Bruce there was a boy in college my first year there

Norris jones

He had black wavy hair

Norris jones where is he now

Fourteen years old in swenson's barn

It was cold

Lots of boys messed around

You know for them it was a game they outgrew

But I always knew

Dad me too

Since like five I guess

I preferred to wear boy shirts and pants

I felt absurd in a dress

I really tried to deny my feelings for girls

But I was like you dad me too

Bruce norris jones

Telephone wire stop to fast

Telephone wire make this not the past

This car ride this is where it has to happen

There must be some other chances

There's a moment I'm forgetting where do you tell me you see me

Say something talk to me

Say something anything

At the light at the light

This can't be our last

That was our last night
