he raises her gently into a chair. she tells him how to make a sling for her arm using a tea towel. as he works she marvels at his face
a light in the east a bird on the sill boy in the attic he is sober now
he clears his mess into cupboards and desks all but the picture against his chest
the carpet flares the suns now there smell of toast burning up the stairs
he quietly leaves the room in peace an empty stage of a distant play
he hears a scream the kettles steam still at the door for a second before he runs in
my fears all gone I see the dawn and I know the boy will be down soon and he'll pick me up and see I'm hurt and call the nurse and they'll come and take me away and I wont be coming back again
we'd dance him a devil and me a witch a spell cast never leaving each others arms
(his silhouette at the door a shape I've known so long)
(hold me in your arms just like a child again like we were never apart)
