Summary: What Mac starts thinking when she hears the
song "Cry Ophelia," which is also not mine by Adam
Cohen. 
**I realize this story is not written with proper
grammer, and it was designed that way because no one
thinks in proper grammer.
 
Something went wrong
You are not laughing
It's not so easy now to get your smile
You gotta be wrong
To walk these streets
And keep from falling
But when you're not, just let yourself cry

I know where I went wrong, when I said the word never,
never, is a word that should never be used. Too
strong, hurts people too much. Just like I hurt you. I
never meant to you know, actually take that back, at
the time maybe I did. Maybe I meant to hurt yo just
like you have hurt me over the years. I wanted to hurt
you but I still wanted you. Just like how I have
always wanted you, even when you hurt me the most.

You've been working hard
Just trying to pay the rent
Tryin' to draw the line between who you are
and who you invent
But if you throw a stone
Something's gonna shatter somewhere
We're all so fragile
We're all so scared 

The CIA! You left us, JAG, you left me to join the
CIA, to be a spook! Don’t you know who you are
anymore? Maybe you are just now finding out who you
are that you really aren't the Harmon Rabb I worked
with for over eight years. Who knows? Maybe you are
this new man, one with no commitments and nothing to
fight for. But I don’t believe it, we all get scared,
and we all run, Lord knows I did, all the way to
Guadualcannal, but like a bommmerang we all come home.

You say you wanna learn how to live your life
without tears
But we've been trying to do that for thousands of
years
So go on and cry Ophelia
It's the only thing to do sometimes
You know I'm crying too
Right there with you
It's all right Ophelia
Everybody cries

Now maybe your turn to cry, and cry all you must. But
don’t cry alone. You lost a great deal but you still
have more, family, friends...me. "You’ll always have
someone who loves you." It goes both ways. Always has.
Now it is your turn to come to me, you know the
reason, I’ll be waiting.


Thank God for my bad memory
I've forgotten some of the stupid things
that I've done
I've come to a little wisdom
through a whole lot of failure
So I watch more carefully what rolls off my tongue

Forgotten, no, not forgotten. But I have forgiven
myself for my mistakes, most of the any ways. The
question is have you? Can you forget Paraguay? Can you
forgive me? I promise not to hurt you like that again.
At least not if I can help it.


You pray for rain
But you don't want it from a storm
You find a rose
And cut your finger on a thorn
So go on and cry Ophelia
It's the only thing to do sometimes
You know I'm crying too
Right there with you
It's alright Ophelia
Everybody cries Ophelia

Even Naval Commanders and Marine Colonels.
