Your sister picked me up at the station She told me they'd taken you in The word was it was just observation I thought here we go again
Danger in the past Danger in the past
So I went and I saw you We walked through the hospital grounds I took your hand and I told you 'Never show your problems in a country town'
Danger in the past Danger in the past
We had friends We had friends that didn't make twenty-five I knew a genius in a bedroom who couldn't walk outside There have been some tremors in our lives
Danger in the past Danger in the past Your mother is a saint With her goodwill and with strength I think that she thought that we were once lovers Now she seems happier that we're friends
Danger in the past Danger in the past
So you signed yourself out With a cross and with a curse You took my arm and you told me That you know some good people there in Perth
Danger in the past Danger in the past

Danger in the past Danger in the past Danger in the past
