PRIDE OF THE PISCATAQUA
By Dan Blakeslee
02/08/12

I watched you from a distance so you and I could be alone.
As the crowd it gathered to watch you get pulled from the throne.
The moon it was a witness you had no intentions of leaving.

Pride of the Piscataqua!

With the low hum of the diesel, in darkness four deep whistles call.
A signal on the ocean, once you spanned now you will be hauled.
To me you’ve always spoken, though they said you weren’t sound.
But tonight I heard you yell, metallic, surreal and profound.

Pride of the Piscataqua!

Hollow is the harbor… Hollow is the harbor…

Here’s to you my crumbling beauty, beneath your belly we did sail.
You ain’t goin’ nowhere for deep in this heart you prevail!

Pride of the Piscataqua!
