Memory of a Drowned Town
The river washed my house away,
I always liked the view.
The rocks that I had piled up,
Tumbled away and broke through.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
My cat climbed into the highest tree,
My dog just ran away.
Only the old rooster,
Took command of the bay.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Down in the valley so far below,
Lay a wasted town.
Some people found their old row boats,
The rest must have drowned.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
We never thought the storm would come,
To our sacred isle.
This is what comes to the best of us,
When we live our lives in denial.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
