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 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
