Laid awake throughout the night
  Today the school's so loud
  And now it's all so quiet
  I plan to pack light
  Cause tomorrow we'll fly
  Taking off to a place
  A land that's not so far away
    The boat above our heads for the walk to the shore
  As feelings of dread soak the length of the oar
  Connecticut hillsides surround the clouds soar
  Dazed to the signs
  I think back to times when gender crossed me
    Miss all those Christmasses
  And the once careless Autumns
    Though there's space betwixt us which
  Dissolves here round when the fog clears
    As we crept through the race
  Old friends would line the banks
  Cheering on as they played
  Screaming all the lovely names
  Then they'd start to file away
  Come dust the time to rage
    The boat above our heads for the walk to the van
  As luncheon awaits us while all the girls tan
  And social engagements commence by the sand
  Now our day is complete
  We faced defeat, but felt the cool breeze
    Follow our dreams
  And hold the lake in such dear regards
  Against the best we thrusted
  But the justice came when the bow touched
