It's pointless to think of turning back now there's no way to save what it Gone there's no need to lie no need to cry and no way to stay safe and warm The porch light was left on till morning each night tears always followed The dawn there's no compromising it's not so surprising we lost what was Safe and warm although I cried in my sleep somehow I felt so relieved to be Free of pain think how excited we'll be think how delighted to see and Breathe new life concrete dividers block the outsiders whose words we Interpret as harm they're weapons we used and often abused to destroy what Was safe and warm bittersweet memories of what we called love fly through My head in a swarm I look back clench-fisted at how it got twisted so far Away from safe and warm (Sheila Doyle/violin, Sara Lee/ba**)
