wide eyed town

you're gone tonight

left the local high school

giving us a fright


don't know where you've gone

but know where you've been

off to the park

thought you had thick skin


into the forest

and off to the trails

all we could hope 

you hadn't crossed the rails


but, there you were

hung from a tree

you've said goodbye now

may you rest in peace
