at some old school in delaware

this speech

this tree

this lake

collecting in the fountains

in the center of a town

next to a town

where you grew up

this state

it's getting late
Dmin F
and the children can't relate
A# Gmin
to things we speak of constantly

the boring cold monotomy
A# Gmin
and all the things that come about
Dmin F
when you say you've forgotten me
