suburban lake caressed

they come back to me with an intro;

the crowd roars with the very first chord;

...You held me safe in your arms
since the day I was born and really never
put me down.

I felt safe as you'd rock back and forth
humming sweet lullabies until sleep 
came to me sound.

You mend...

  No more hair there!
  Each whisker removed,
