You walked in and locked the door Gear is piled on the floor You jump in the shower stall Steam is drifting down the hall I am listening to the sound Sitting on the marble ground Counting seconds one by one Until the cleaning work is done You lock the world outside the gate Fix the scrape and set it straight You share the story and the bread Tuck me safe inside the bed You are the strongest one I know Hero of the evening show I hold the towel for your hand Wiping off the grit and sand See the burn mark on your skin Cleaning where the blade went in Pass the bandage and the tape Help you get back into shape Just a normal night for us Cleaning up without a fuss You lock the world outside the gate Fix the scrape and set it straight You share the story and the bread Tuck me safe inside the bed You are the strongest one I know Hero of the evening show Walking to the kitchen light Safe and warm inside the night Watch you butter up the toast It's the thing I like the most Sitting closely side by side Nothing left to fear or hide Warm milk and a story told About the giants brave and bold You lock the world outside the gate Fix the scrape and set it straight You share the story and the bread Tuck me safe inside the bed You are the strongest one I know Hero of the evening show Kitchen lights are turning low One last place we have to go Lift me high above the floor Walking through the bedroom door Tuck me in the covers deep Promise you will watch me sleep Turn the lamp off on the stand Holding on to brother's hand You lock the world outside the gate Fix the scrape and set it straight You share the story and the bread Tuck me safe inside the bed You are the strongest one I know Hero of the evening show One day you will check the clock No one rattling the lock War will take me from the door I won't come home anymore One day I will not be found Silence on the marble ground When the War has taken all That is when your childhood falls
