Laid awake throughout the night
|
Today the school's so loud
|
And now it's all so quiet
|
I plan to pack light
|
Cause tomorrow we'll fly
|
Taking off to a place
|
A land that's not so far away
|
|
The boat above our heads for the walk to the shore
|
As feelings of dread soak the length of the oar
|
Connecticut hillsides surround the clouds soar
|
Dazed to the signs
|
I think back to times when gender crossed me
|
|
Miss all those Christmasses
|
And the once careless Autumns
|
|
Though there's space betwixt us which
|
Dissolves here round when the fog clears
|
|
As we crept through the race
|
Old friends would line the banks
|
Cheering on as they played
|
Screaming all the lovely names
|
Then they'd start to file away
|
Come dust the time to rage
|
|
The boat above our heads for the walk to the van
|
As luncheon awaits us while all the girls tan
|
And social engagements commence by the sand
|
Now our day is complete
|
We faced defeat, but felt the cool breeze
|
|
Follow our dreams
|
And hold the lake in such dear regards
|
Against the best we thrusted
|
But the justice came when the bow touched
|
