Lake Waramaug

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 awayThe 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 meMiss all those Christmas's
And the once careless Autumns
Though there's space betwixt us
Which dissolves here 'round when the fog clearsAs 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 rageThe 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 breezeFollow our dreams
And hold the lake in such dear regards
Against the best we trusted
But the justice came when the bow touched
