Your green eyes light up the night in my dark room.
And in the shadows I can see you blink slowly to say:
"I love you. I'll keep you safe."
With your head on my shoulder,
My shuddering body calms, and the sobs subside
I can feel my tears drying as a striped tail keeps time.
Your growling cries fend off every intruding demon
And you ward off the devils in my brain.
I run my hand over your soft head and I'm no longer afraid.
You're the thief turned hero
The story of my success
You're the criminal at my rescue
You're the Bandit who stole my heart for safe keeping.
