[00:02.07]	ALISON:
[00:03.92]	Telephone wire,
[00:05.74]	Run and run,
[00:07.51]	Telephone wire.
[00:09.56]	Sundown on the creek,
[00:12.27]	Partly frozen, partly flowing.
[00:14.68]	Must be windy, trees are bending.
[00:16.55]	Junction 50 field needs mowing.
[00:18.88]	Feels like the car is glowing.
[00:22.18]	Say something!
[00:23.80]	Talk to him!
[00:25.99]	Say something!
[00:27.71]	Anything!
[00:29.82]	At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light,
[00:33.42]	At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light.
[00:37.40]	Like, you could say,
[00:39.05]	"So, how does it feel to know
[00:41.03]	That you and I are both–"
[00:42.30][spoken]
[00:42.53]	BRUCE:
[00:42.71]	Hey.
[00:42.87]	ALISON:
[00:43.13]	Yeah?
[00:43.36]	BRUCE:
[00:43.93]	Where do you want to go?
[00:44.92]	ALISON:
[00:45.14]	Oh, I don't know.
[00:48.23][sung]
[00:48.43]	BRUCE:
[00:48.83]	I know a bar that's kind of hidden away.
[00:55.64]	A seedy club for folks like… you know.
[01:01.79]	Could be fun.
[01:04.98]	ALISON:
[01:06.17]	But Dad, I'm not twenty-one.
[01:09.91][spoken]
[01:10.48]	BRUCE:
[01:11.06]	Yeah, right.
[01:13.50][sung]
[01:14.14]	ALISON:
[01:19.46]	Telephone wire,
[01:21.30]	Long black line,
[01:23.33]	Telephone wire.
[01:25.10]	Finely threaded sky.
[01:28.48]	There's the pond where I went wading.
[01:30.15]	There's a sign for Sugar Valley.
[01:32.00]	On the mountain, light is fading.
[01:34.03]	I go back to school tomorrow!
[01:37.46]	Say something!
[01:39.04]	Talk to him!
[01:41.69]	Say something!
[01:43.18]	Anything!
[01:45.42]	At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light,
[01:49.04]	At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light.
[01:52.68]	Doesn't matter what you say,
[01:54.97]	Just make the fear in his eyes go away.
[01:57.85]	BRUCE:
[01:58.12]	There was a boy
[01:59.31]	In college,
[02:01.69]	My first year there.
[02:04.33]	Norris Jones.
[02:07.73]	He had black, wavy hair.
[02:13.96]	Norris Jones.
[02:17.26]	Where is he now?
[02:24.41]	Fourteen years old
[02:28.05]	In Swenson's barn.
[02:29.81]	It was cold.
[02:33.23]	Lots of boys messed around, you know.
[02:37.85]	For them, it was a game they outgrew,
[02:41.57]	But I always knew
[02:44.55]	ALISON:
[02:44.81]	Dad, me too!
[02:45.86]	Since, like, five, I guess,
[02:47.40]	I preferred to wear boys' shirts and pants.
[02:50.24]	I felt absurd in a dress.
[02:52.72]	I really tried to deny my feelings for girls,
[02:57.14]	But I was like you, Dad,
[03:00.06]	Me too.
[03:00.82]	BRUCE:
[03:01.24]	Norris Jones…
[03:01.68]	ALISON:
[03:03.32]	Dad?

[03:08.62]	BRUCE:
[03:09.82]	Hey, did I mention that new project I've taken on?
[03:14.47]	You've seen it, Al, that old house out on Route 150?
[03:17.29]	It's been standing empty forty, fifty years at least.
[03:19.66][sung]
[03:20.01]	ALISON:
[03:20.24]	Telephone wire,
[03:20.42]	Stop! Too fast!
[03:23.68]	Telephone wire,
[03:24.98]	Make this not the past.
[03:27.66]	This car ride,
[03:29.51]	This is where it has to happen!
[03:31.86]	There must be some other chances.
[03:33.85]	There's a moment I'm forgetting
[03:36.13]	Where you tell me you see me.
[03:39.22]	Say something!
[03:40.74]	Talk to me!
[03:43.26]	Say something!
[03:44.62]	Anything!
[03:47.11]	At the light,
[03:50.76]	At the light.
