WATERTOWER

by Wieuca

/

lyrics

It was mid-July, midnight off exit 105
backpack full of spray cans, colors I could find
bugs were biting and humming songs
dropped my flashlight but carried on

I shake as I climb the water tower in the sky
that cranes above the pines and dying flowers
I slip and I fall, your name still written on the wall
in letters three foot tall
the water tower

Just like the rest, you never moved away from here
married young, and when the weather's clear
you squint and see it from your yard
we left this town a scar

I shake as I climb the water tower in the sky
that cranes above the pines and dying flowers
I slip and I fall, your name still written on the wall
the water tower

Too expensive to demolish, the tower yet remains
a monument of loss sneering at the highway.
now protected by a gate
sun bleaches paint and I fade.
