I carry out the chairs
And find the colored lights in the garden shed
There are boxes on the stairs
Full of rockets and dragon eggs

Are you scared to sleep out on the grass by the pool
Where the spirits move in the water?
That you'll wake up and it's already dark
And you're suddenly much older

You hear the kids in the yard
Coming back from the neighbours
You wonder if one day
They will become strangers

The fires rise up from their little hands
And transform in the sky into showers of light
I'll find your hummingbird cake and the blue raspberry jam
We'll fry our brains on a sugar-high

Tie your feet, or you'll shoot off in the night
With the violet balloons
And the mighty wolf blows the candles out
And howls to the moon
