Terry Hall

 

I heard the news

At 4.30 a.m. exactly

I knew it would hurt

And it did so badly

 

A voice that blew away the fluff of the 80’s

A sincere stare

And words that were rich and plenty

 

I heard the news

At 4.30 a.m. exactly

I knew it would hurt

And it did so badly

 

An honesty that left you feeling less alone

A life of pain

etched in words that could have been my own

 

 

I heard the news

At 4.30 a.m. exactly

I knew it would hurt

And it did so badly

 

I heard your voice

And it rings in my head so beautifully

I know it will stay, in the echo chamber

Of my memory
