Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) - When You Saw I Was in Danger, You Broke Out of the Stone and Saved Me lyrics

The week before summer ended Danny and I were swimming in Runyan Lake It was the beginning of the end of all things And we both felt change coming like The pa**ing of seasons was a banner or a tide Danny was on the verge of dropping out of high school And I could not talk him out of it I felt like a failure I pulled the water around me like a shield And tried to take it all in Take it all in, take it all in Take it all in, take it all in The sun dragging the sky In streaks of orange and yellow The lake water warm like bath We stayed in the water until it was dark
