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

The week before summer ended
Danny and I were swimming in Runyan Lake

It was beginning and end of all things
and we both felt change coming,
like the passing 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

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
