By your side
I am safety itself
By my side
You have an unbearable night
Tomorrow's parties
Are history now exactly like
Yesterday's tests
Shift the halo in gold, pink and blue
Like a childhood Christmas
By my side
Stands a bird bone throne askew
By your side
Is a radioactive zone
Nuclear weapon tests
Are beautiful from afar, we meet again
A thousand New Year's parties
When all the clocks strike twelve, synchronised like a dancefloor
You have set your life at stake for my sake
Like Eliot's 'The Waste Land'
Like Hellman's '...Och stora havet'
Sleep my darling
Turn your other cheek to the blows
Set your life at stake for my sake
Now
By my side
Walks my life's love tone in tone
By your side
Walks a third silent person
Tomorrow's parties
Are history now exactly like
Yesterday's tests
Shift the halo in gold, pink and blue
Like a childhood Christmas
