To Keep You Safe From Harm & Trouble

What's it all about, this stranger waving?

Singing songs for me like I was a baby

I'm in a good place, I am in a warm world

And I'm not telling a single word, I'm gonna keep it all

Within

I'm in the kitchen and I see my mother, she is working in the garden like nothing ever happened

A fragile bird, I know now

Dressed in hopes and wishes

And I won't let anything happen to you

I'm gonna keep you under my wings



There's something growing, and I don't know what it is

There's a creature crawling in my legs

Sister/brother, come with me

Chase it away, let me be

There's someone calling

A voice familiar

Cut a piece of me

Point a finger

Where are you headed, I don't know

But I won't let any sadness shine through, no, I'm gonna keep it under my

Skin

This was an accident, and accidentally you stumble into things that weren't meant to be

Sister/brother, come with me

Get the monster, make it bleed

You have been wide open

You have been a clam

Your voice was a bulldozer, clearing a path

You acted a guiding light

You acted a black hole

And I could never sound that loud no matter how hard I try

You acted a guiding light and you acted a silent knight

You told me stories

Drew me pictures stolen from the dead

And when we meet on a rusty morning, I'll pay you back

I'll pay you double

I'll hold your head, I'll lift you high

I'll keep you safe from harm and trouble
