Deadsy Follow

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
