Danger in the Past Lyrics by Robert Forster

Danger in the Past

1990

Danger in the past
Danger in the past, yeah
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
So I went back to my own city
To find that I'd made enemies while I was away
You might think this is a hard thing to do
And it was your sister who used to say
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
