Do you remember
The house in our town
Built as a bomb shelter
Bomb shelter crumbling
Crumbling all edges
Those ‘Fifties on ledges
Denizens waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen
Always there‘s something
Waiting in the wings
Wings on the waiting for us
Mommy is waiting
Is waiting you said
For something to happen
She cannot come out now
Rehearsals for fear
You knew not to drink it
Those early days‘ ledges
The fear never yours
You still rode your bike
Wearing a sllicker
Slicker in rain
Deluge towards danger
Your purposeful journey
Two towns away
And I said okay
Seal of consent
And you‘d better
Come back here alive!
Off you go then
Off to the Hobby Shop
Quest you must make
My Love, off you go
