After that canticle of a valedictory address You ran away on the overnight sleeper to Inverness Digging through the many layers of your personality Shows me that time as top of the class was your finality Looking outward from inside your mind's eye Reminds me of a glassy sea under foreboding sky Encapsulates your fondest memories for posterity But shows me you've always been a friable personality Once you were cherished and beloved of the people Until they saw you as crooked as the church steeple There you stood just grinning like a Cheshire cat In a horribly expensive coat and John Lennon hat After that canticle of a valedictory address You ran away on the overnight sleeper to Inverness Digging through the many layers of your personality Shows me that time as top of the class was your finality In the end it all comes down to the catalyst of iconoclasm That forced you to flee from that insurmountable chasm Now walking that lonely road in tune with your heart An apology for all those believers would be a start There's many bridges to build on the road to Inverness Each one a resolution for all the ills you have to confess Outwardly it paints an atmospheric monochrome mood Your hoping that valediction shows you're not crude Still after that canticle of a valedictory address The best you could do was run away to Inverness
