It's just...

Mammy what's that noise?

It's just the wind banging branches against your window pane.

It's just thunder. God moving his furniture.

It's just our creaking house or maybe a mouse.

It's just our cat Fred.

Breathing under your bed.

It's just the pipes rattling a song.

It's just your imagination.

It's just your dad banging our gate.

Been out late.

Now go back to bed.

Lay down your head.

It's just your lost mother comforting you from the dead.
