Holland Creek The Square Hallway
I left the room
I walked down the hall
Past the new mothers
I turned round the corner
Through doors at the back
I saw some old friends from school
A banquet and prom dresses
I didn't go in
One moment I swam there
In daylight
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself
Further down the hall
I saw him standing in a tux
Wide-open hands
I floated to his smile
He wrapped his arms around me
And didn't say a word
I could feel all his friendship
Could feel love
One moment I swam there
In daylight
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself
I turned one last corner
Into a room
Coffins and flowers
The stillness of death
But you
I saw you there
Sitting at a table
Sad laughter with friends
A beautiful girl
Dressed like a queen
The searching could end
There's nothing else I need
I moved past the dead
I moved to your arms
But you couldn't see
You didn't look up
One moment I swam there
In daylight
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself
