[So Long: Fragment 1]
When dad moved out to a frozen land
The TV was jumping, it didn't feel right, and
The cards, they came with pictures of frozen lights
And giant frozen sculptures
So big right beside him
Carved out of snow
The clouds fooled us into seeing snow
As far as we could see
It was summer and the sun came up
And never went down for two whole weeks
[My Slumbering Heart: Fragment 2]
My mom, she cried about money and time
And how she felt older
And I didn't understand much
She left, I stayed
My dad played in the bar
And I wondered if I looked like him
He was small even with boots on
He looked like an Eskimo
And we were in Alaska
In the airport, I had seen or
Imagined a mural of an arctic scene
With seals and people seemed nicer than me
Where they smoked and talked about the disappearing ground
