Turtle One
Jack Hubbell
[Verse 1]
Turtle came out of her shell
In a hundred year old shoe box with breathing holes
We put on our clothes, and on the way home
We contemplated moving up
To the suburban world of our parents' goals
We'd always said we hated most
Until the love that bound us close dissipated like turtle's ghost
And headed south before
[Chorus]
The snow fell every night, I am a pebble in white
I won't forget your beady eyes if you remember mine
[Verse 2]
Something must have gone terribly wrong
There was a flash in the tunnel, no light at the end
The young driver and his passenger were dead on the scene
Dead on route seventeen
