Steve Keenan Boston Tech

[Verse 1]
We both walked those halls at Boston Tech,
Early mornings, the sun just peeking,
Steve called out, 'Hey, let’s catch the bus!'
Together, side by side, that was our luck.
His laughter echoed, a playful tease,
Mounting snow banks, living with ease.
With a book in hand, he’d read aloud,
Coleridge’s lines, make us both proud.

[Chorus]
Oh, Steve, where did you go?
Running wild beneath the trees we used to know.
With a drink in hand, and a smile so bright,
Memories linger on this drizzly night.

[Verse 2]
Sixteen years in a world we made,
Drinking cheap beer, our dreams unafraid.
Near the tracks by the Neponset shore,
Life felt alive, like we were meant for more.
But shadows crept in as we chased the tale,
The trolley passed by, with a warning, we’d bail.
Oh, the mischief, the thrill, living reckless and bold,
But underneath it all, there were stories untold.

[Chorus]
Oh, Steve, where did you go?
Running wild beneath the trees we used to know.
With a drink in hand, and a smile so bright,
Memories linger on this drizzly night.

[Bridge]
Think of his mother, with tears in her eyes,
Losing her boy, beneath the grey skies.
Forty long years, would she carry the pain?
In a world so heavy, with love as her chain.

[Verse 3]
Now I walk these paths, where our laughter once rang,
Echoes of youth in the songs that we sang.
The snow banks still hold the whispers of joy,
Of a boy named Steve, my friend, my ally.
Oh, the stories we shared, the dreams that we chased,
In the heart of Boston, those memories we traced.

[Chorus]
Oh, Steve, where did you go?
Running wild beneath the trees we used to know.
With a drink in hand, and a smile so bright,
Memories linger on this drizzly night.

[Outro]
So I raise a glass to the moments gone by,
To the laughter we shared, to the tears we cry.
In the shadow of time, I still hear the sound,
Of the friendship we had, that forever surrounds.
