When you showed up at the farm
Visions of the summer flying past you
The foxes had torn up
The mother and her pups
And the well was full of flies
When you walked down to the pond
Searching for the lover guiding you
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then
You finally knew that you were lost
No one thought you were a fool
Even though everyone knew
What you wrote was the same
Just a different name
Of those who escaped before you.
