Lyrics

The Lock
There once was a town, and a river running through
A hundred year canal, with not much of a view
There once were boys, who swam in the deep
But no longer do they, splash, jump, or leap.
There are still boys, still boys who swim
Who don’t peer to the bottom, before divin in
But not in that lock, not from that edge,
Do they dangle bare feet from a concrete ledge
CHORUS
But it never was, no it’s not there
The town with a name, a boy without care
No it never happened, noone’s to blame
Even if it was, what would it change
There once was a room, a sign-in book and vase
Handshakes and hugs, an 8 year old’s face
There’d be other rooms, but this was the first
And what one should say, all carefully rehearsed
CHORUS
But it never was, no it’s not true
What does it matter, brown eyes or blue
No it never happened, boys learn to swim
And laugh and shout, when friends pull them in.
CHORUS
But it never was, no it’s not there
And If it was, how could that be fair
No it never happened, what lesson could you learn?
Weighed down with a guilt, he had yet to earn
