Oh dreary, sleepy town,
Where life once had been,
Reveal your inner secrets
To my young, restless soul!
Why are you so dreary
And yet so calm?
Why do you speak to me
In whispered phrases?
What happened here
So many years ago
That all land life's drained,
And aquatic life may grow?
The boats still remain
Where fishermen once stayed.
Whisper to me, silent place;
Let me feel those ancient rays,
And let me see what happened here.
Please, you've nothing to fear.
Oh still waters
With wisdom high,
Please show me what happened
From the skies.
Weary homes
You're famished
But you still know how
To show me love.
Please show me
Your history.
Show me
The missing piece
To this puzzle,
Which will lead me
To the important part
Of why you're now
So empty.
