Red brick stands strong, faded but in the mind
Halls of chaos ring with voices new
I turn, holding heavy my heart, resigned
Facing white-washed walls to journey through
When clouds blemish ceilings of empty blue
Drenching us off guard, a coat to find
Under rat tailed curls I’ll smile, and think of you
Red brick stands strong, faded but in the mind
Though the many trodden towers have now declined
With cracked repairs lingering, long overdue
Regardless. each year, a sanctuary is defined
Halls of chaos ring with voices new
To stay, a life un-lonely held onto
Would wither our wondering plans designed.
Once drunken daydreams, now to pursue
I turn, holding heavy my heart, resigned
We will reach out together, hands intertwined
Transplanting with us the guts we grew
We stumble forward, scarlet supports behind
Facing white-washed walls to journey through
