A Safe Place

from Look What's Left by Wampeters

/

lyrics

on Friday nights he's at the grille & bar
buying drinks for everyone
he's a fixture in his hometown
a sturdy oak
he's taken root

on Saturdays he's at the high school gym
waiting in the bleachers for the game to begin
he's an institution on his block and on the next one
supports the team
wears red and green

and he's found a safe place

every summer he's the marshal in the town parade
he wears the coveted paper crown
the children cheer him from the sidewalks
he smiles and waves
he knows their names

and in the winter he is ever-ready
for an avalanche or a flood
he keeps a snowplow in his backyard
just in case
the big one hits

on the ground
down on his knees
