Laurence Overmire - Xenia, Ohio (Tornado, April 4., 1974) lyrics

Heard it on the news, several hours distance The tornado touched down. Blew away the pond in the park. The ducks were gone. Threw a bus on the school. Kids screaming inside. The neighborhood leveled Like the swing of a scythe. Nothing was what it was. Everything was rubble. My childhood too was Blown away. The places I knew were No more. No where to go back to… The path that led from there to here. Time has a way, twistered minutes wrapped Around a telephone pole… The line is cut, with no way or why or how To call home or even Get help.
