Cameron Field

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen

So you came home again
Near half a century
A park you knew as a child
There a final memory

They did not know you there
Days to identify
Lost there within the trees
Lows beneath what was high


Everyone came to your party
Few would ever really stay
Some of us stood there together
Thirty years before this day

Leading you back to Cameron Field
Rest from your troubles in Cameron Field


I could not stop you then
Words you would never heed
Far off your radar now
Speeds that you would exceed

Maybe there was a chance
Turns that you did not take
Roads winding gloomy paths
Vows made you always break


Thinking little of the future
Believing time was on your side
You went racing down a darkened corridor
With just desires as your guide

Leading you back to Cameron Field
Rest from your troubles in Cameron Field

The listener can reinterpret this song if they wish. It sounds somewhat symbolic, but it is actually very literal. This is a eulogy for an old friend who went too far, for too long, and was not able to make it back. For Joshua Silver, 1974 - 2023, South Orange, NJ.
