Zachary Schomburg - Haircuts - 1 lyrics

Dad used to take me to Sam his barber. It was a shop called Sam's. Sam was always in there by himself reading the newspaper waiting for Dad. This was before you were born. We liked to talk about how much things used to cost. The candy in the machine took one quarter and it came out too fast. A haircut is the first sacrifice— a handing over of proof of next to nothing. Take it and I'll be brave with ease. My favorite part was Dad's turn in the chair. I watched him become new again, closer to me.
