**Farewell From Pittsburgh**
by Mason H Miller
Gotta dream I'm going way, way from here
Head east, meet my friends, we'd eat clams and beach
No ocean's bluer than me
Gotta dream the desert's burning for me
Set west, bridge my soul to my family
Wet aloe, please heal me
Empty the Rio Grande meets the sea
Mm, cool water running under me
Proof I still need
Next time maybe
Wonder why I was born to paradise
Routines, sweet treat, people I'll trust for life
With everything I need
Why, God, would I still think to leave
Mm, cool water running over me
Proof I still need
Some time maybe
H is for how I hope to live
O is for other options missed
M is for my love Monongahela
E is everything a silent "H" can hold
My mom said I'm fine
My mama said I'm fine
My mom said I'm... yeah
In a trance, the train horn blasts me back
Back to sleep, magically three rivers turn to meet
Back before I could speak
