Deas Vail
"Surface"


Come away for evermore
We could place everyone on the floor
We could love them as our own
But we watch them from above all alone
All our lives, we put them out of sight
And out of mind
But it goes to the bone, so put your shoes back on.
We're going home. We're going.
Put away our dirty face.
Smile away tired eyes we replace.
What have we done?
Can we see?
Everyone watching as we recede.
We realize our faults and cover up our eyes.
Our moment's over.
To the sound of nervous glances
We will chance these final dances.
