Henry James telling Helena that Minnie has died. Lyrics below:

Henry James:

She died today
I’m sorry but she just went away.
There was nothing we could do.
Her sister said, she blessed us all and wished us well
I wanted to tell her to go to hell
She had cut us off from the best of the best

Henry and Helena:

We were joyous for a bit
Us two girls and our half girl
We were all in a whirl
So happy to be free and young.

Helena:

Thanks for telling me
You know we were the best of the best
You were always one of us
Though you blushed more than anyone
We were what we wanted to be
Despite all the rest that never understood

Henry & Helena:

We weren’t allowed in
We weren’t even friends at the end
We were the ones to be kept away
We were to blame, we weren’t the same
We were the strange ones
That had given her the consumption.

We were joyous for a bit
Us two girls and our half girl
We were all in a whirl
So happy to be free and young.
