A cry for help,

a hint of anesthesia

The sound from broken homes

We used to always meet here

As he lays asleep,

she takes him in her arms

Some things I have to do,
Interlude 1

but I don't mean you harm

A worried parent's glance,

a kiss, a last goodbye

Hands him the bag she packed,

the tears she tries to hide

A cruel wind that blows

down to our lunacy

And leaves him standing cold
