The dam on our doorstep Frozen over, undiscovered, Covered nature's sculptures fine, And the man-made beauty shines, For the first time in life, I behold the Afton's might, And the waterworks don't blight Nor the railings mar this sight To see the joy in the mundane Feel the life force in the plain Is that not the why you came? Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving, all the same For the first time in life, I behold the Afton's might, And the waterworks don't blight Nor the railings mar this sight To see the joy in the mundane Feel the life force in the plain Is that not the why you came? Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. To the Afton Still you're leaving.................. Still you're leaving All the same
