    okay but the "half an orphan" concept is absolutely killing me and so is this song, I lost my father at age 15 and this puts that heartache into such a gentle perspective.

This is a really gorgeous embodiment of love and the passage of time and deep our connections (that grow, that of course end eventually) to each other.

    I'm half an orphan
    I know it's strange when I say it
    But I don't know how put it otherwise
    It's now not a problem
    When I wonder who to turn to
    If ever have a problem
    I can't ask you
    Three becomes two
    Two becomes one
    One becomes none
    And then you're done
    I'm still a cyclist
    But with one stabiliser
    Now I'm wobbling like
    A drunk boy in a storm
    I missed the lesson
    Where they tell you how keep on
    But hey I know a lot
    About Henry's wives
    Three becomes two
    Two becomes one
    One becomes none
    And then you're done
    Rocks become roads
    Roads become hellos
    Hellos become goodbyes
    And then you're done
    Mother don't be wild
    Don't go chasing the bad guys
    Cos I don't have the legs
    Let them get away this time
    Mother we got life
    So don't go for looking for a fight
    Cos I don't have the might
    To hold them all off
    Three becomes two
    Two becomes one
    One becomes none
    And then you're done
    Lows becomes highs
    Highs have their time
    Just like you and I
