Background music for an interactive fiction piece.

The Deluge

feel the thaw is coming
stumble out the door
eyes on the horizon
stare a thousand yards or more

all the bright young things
coming out in green
don’t ask me to remember
how it felt to be so clean

if only I could lead you
hand in hand down the avenue
walk with me
come and see

memorize the buildings
wood and steel and stone
pass by wondering about
the lives inside I’ll never know

caught up in the wandering
no destination planned
no one looks me in the eye
or comes to take me by the hand

oh, if only I could lead you
hand in hand down the avenue
walk with me
come and see

something is stirring beneath it all
clawing its way to the light
something is slouching toward this place
and it’s looking for a fight

and if only I could lead you
hand in hand down the avenue
walk with me
come and see
walk with me
come and see
