Here we are, curled in the dark. First we're newborn, then like logs. Then like a soldier up at attention. The fear in the night — make it safe, make it alright The riot in the mind — make it safe, make it alright On your birthday, I showed you pics of the outside You didn't notice, but it passed the time St David up on the Lakeridge A dove muttering into the mouth of St Greg Straighten a boy's leg — make it safe, make it alright Primipara on the toilet — make her safe, make her alright I can't talk now, spring is all over us Come on spring, come and unfold us A whale moves away from where a wave unstuck it Rain gathers in the bottom of a champagne bucket Where your brother betrayed you Make it safe, make it alright I wanna take you back to that room Make it safe, make it alright Here we are... curled in the dark... The last two spoons left in the drawer How do you fall asleep with such speed? You say "Goodbye" and then You're twitching into a dream. The fear in the night — make it safe, make it alright The riot in the mind — make it safe, make it alright
