Telephone Wire Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Fun Home

Fun Home (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[ALISON]
Telephone wire
Run and run
Telephone wire
Sundown 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—"
[BRUCE]
Hey
[ALISON]
Yeah?
[BRUCE]
Where do you want to go?
[ALISON]
Oh, I don't know
[BRUCE]
I know a bar that's kind of hidden away
A seedy club for folks like… you know
Could be fun
[ALISON]
But Dad, I'm not twenty-one
[BRUCE]
Yeah, right
[ALISON]
Telephone wire
Long black line
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 Swanson's barn
It was cold
Lots of boys messed around, you know
For them, it was a game they outgrew
But I always knew
[ALISON]
Dad, me too!
Since, like, five, I guess
I preferred to wear boys' 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…
[ALISON]
Dad?
[BRUCE]
Norris Jones…
[ALISON]
Dad?
[BRUCE]
Hey, did I mention that new project I've taken on?
You've seen it, Al, that old house out on Route 150?
It's been standing empty forty, fifty years at least
[ALISON]
Telephone wire
Stop! Too 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 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—
[BRUCE]
Well, that was fun
It's earlier than I thought
Are you coming in?
[ALISON]
Telephone wire
That was our last night
