These are the lyrics for "Memorial Statue," a song I made. It's based on the Guardians of Transportation, those giant statues on the Lorain Carnegie bridge that kept watch over me going to high school every day. They're still one of my favorite things in this city of mine. Giant 43 foot tall art-deco supermen, holding travelers close to their hearts.
"memorial statue"
i never left a friend
on the side of the road
though i've never had the chance.
i've never ever lied
to guard my pride-
ever stoic in my stance.
like a statue,
carved out of stone,
triumphant, but always alone.
standing guard
on the boulevard,
silently watching me home.
love those guys!
