The grass was way overgrown
And the fences needed a good mend
Summer seemed to drag on and on
Just like it never would end
I could hear the noise of children laughing
Taunting me with their happy sound
I ran through the steamy streets
No children to be found
It was a year of forevers
Forever and a day
It was a year of forevers
It did not go away
I took a trip to Montauk Point
Past the valley of ashes
The sky was the color of blue honey
The sun poking through the clouds in flashes
This was my destiny, I thought
The place I'd make my final stand
The days here last an eternity
This strange and unquiet land
