Taken To Tualatin

Oh, my little friend
You turned the corner before me
But you're still playing in my mind
As I face this new reality

The wind rattles at the door
And I thought that you had returned
Fools me every time
Oh, I wonder if I'll ever learn?

Couldn't put it into words
But it was always understood
Loved me with a strength
That only an Olympian could

Thinking of the day
Who's night I thought would never come
Chew it over in my mind
And blow it like it's bubblegum

Lonely sentry
Will you still be watching from the stars?
Pink metal heart

Standing on my own
I'm scattered like a bowling pin
When they told me on the phone
You'd been taken to Tualatin

Later in the day
The shadows frame my evening walk
While I'm searching for something
In the streets I thought I knew before

Lonely sentry
Can you still see me from where you are?
Pink metal heart

Oh, Gracie
Stay with me
And protect us still
Oh, Gracie
Stay with me
And protect us still...
