lyrics

As it went, a two way mirror,
You couldn't cut glass any clearer
The lens that showed all of you to the whole of us.
Remember when we wheeled our way to Gainesville Florida?
My phone died in a squat, Atlanta.
I was shrugging off some demons, you washed yours down with water.

You were stuck deeper than I knew.
I should've shook you loose.

After 30 buoyant years, you're body sank.
And you paddled out smiling down the James.
"It's a beautiful, beautiful day," you sang
"You're my brother, and my friend," we refrained
Now you'll float above Virginia,
You've got it written just under your left cufflink
on a damp cloud hunched down over an old eight track
waiting for the rest of us to cross back.
