Father hit his head on the kitchen door
Mother broke her ankle on the theater floor
While I was waiting patiently in a warm dark safe with a smile on
Father waited nervously by the hospital door
Mother placed the table with her apron on and her hair tied up
Father packed a suitcase with his clothes tucked in it and a face of disgust
While I remember vaguely in the bedroom with a closet too small
I remember yelling from the hall
Mmmm surprise im the apple of your eye
Oh it is true this piece I wrote for you
I remember vividly on my fathers shoulders I felt so tall
Taught me how to tie my shoes on the staircase at the end of the hall
I was screaming manically at the bathroom ceiling with the water on
I remember sleeping with the light on
Now it is clear that I am no use right here
Take it slow we've got a long long way to go
Father held my homework up with a grimace and a hole punched in it
Father stood there softly with a big warm grin and his baseball tickets
I put my breath in a suitcase for the politicians of that place and time
Mother broke her ankle in 1989
At the top of the town
Where you can be looking down
With the space and the air
No one can find you there
Just the plans in the sky
Oh i almost went awry
With the sights and the sounds
You can sleep without a sound
