My guardian
it’s dark tonight and the moon’s out
it’s giving of that eary glow
it’s quiet and damp inside tonight
i wonder, will he show?
my job is to keep the peace.
i am here to watch over and wait.
i am here with direct intention.
i say who gets past this gate.
“i'm sorry, but who are you again?
stay right there, and let me check.
while I run through your past and history
please put this band around your neck.
would you mind we’ll need a sample...
of your piss, a hair test too,
would you mind signing your name?
here, here and here. Thank you.
"will she see me?"
maybe, baby.
really, you can't hurt her anyhow.
“can i go inside yet?”
maybe, baby.
you'll only stay as long as I allow.
“can i touch her ever so gently?”
maybe, sugar.
she’s quite fragile as it seems.
“can a lullaby i sing to her?”
please do darlin’.
it helps calm her dreams.
her wilted wings, they are tired.
her feathers damp and frail.
her eyes they search for another,
as she sings on the major scale...
“meet me in the midst of this ridicule and laughter.
dance with me in this purple rain.
try to come and understand my disaster.
and feel the depths of my pain.”
okay, we need to go now.
i’m sorry but closing time is here.
you can see her again tomorrow.
there is no reason to fear.
no, you must leave now.
the exit is right this way.
no, you cannot be here.
it’s bad when people stay.
please, let us be gone then.
the morning is coming on fast.
the daughter she is stirring.
and so are the blisters from the past.
the day it is breaking
the night has gone to bed
the girl she is awaking
to face the day ahead.
i am the guardian over her nightmares
the sandman of her heart.
the keeper of her secrets.
and now I must depart.
I say good morning to the day staff
another grueling night on the job.
“No worries, we’ve got her from here now,
see ya later. have a good day, Bob.”
here's to a day of hope my precious dreamer
your future looks so fresh and bright
i leave you on clouds of wonder
and I’ll see you again tonight!
