1
on the shores of a lake named after a late queen of england
2
i heard new rumors of war.
3
the sun was a red ball up in the summer sky.
4
i saw my sister standing in the doorway.
5
she had that look on her face that reminded me of you.
6
the reports were coming hourly and the sky was blue.
7
they were shifting the power again.
8
they always do this when i come home.
9
i tucked my shirt in, though i don't know why.
10
shielded my eyes from the light up in the sky
11
'cause it was shining, blazing, like a highway flare
12
in the incredibly impossibly dry air
13
i heard my mother call my sister to the kitchen again
14
and thought that everything was headed straight down the drain
15
they positioned themselves in strategic locations
16
i was beginning to lose my patience.
17
if you'll just put your hand in mine,
18
we're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
