THE SPACE IN HERE

to the tune of _The Space Between_ by the Dave Matthews Band

Dedicated to Gail 

 

(After the events at the Zoo, Uncle Vernon locks Harry in his cupboard under the stairs as punishment.  Harry is laying on his bed, resigned to another long stay in his "bedroom".)

 

HARRY:

He shoved me in here so quickly

There’s no hope in sight for me

Feels like the walls are gonna squeeze me

Guess I’m stuck in here a while now

 

The space in here is really cramped, 

and there are spiders climbing all over my socks

I feel they feed me lots of lies, 

but they sure don’t feed me food near enough

 

Will I get out again?

 

Their explanations just confuse me:

"Your parents died in a crash!"

But I recall my forehead burning, burning 

and a blinding, bright green flash

 

They treat me like a common slug

something nasty that just can’t comprehend 

When I’m in here I just can’t hide

and Dudley finds me to inflict more pain 

 

Will I get out again?

Will I get out?

 

Weird things just happen to me,like today at the reptile building

When the snake escaped from the glass-less window to the middle of the crowded room

Uncle Vern was so mad I thought the Zoo was gonna be my tomb.

 

I dreamed last night of a motorbike 

that was flying ‘cross the dark midnight sky

I think I’ve had this same dream before, 

But I just won’t mention it out loud anymore

 

And relatives, thus far unknown, 

I dream that they come and take me away

And I’ll escape this space in here

and I know I’ll be safe from pain

 

They’ll take my hand, and we’ll walk right out of here

Oh, right out of here

Love is what I need here

 

The space between the stairs and floor

is where you’ll find me sitting waiting for you.

Please come soon! Just let me know

When it’s time for me to go

 

(Harry falls asleep, and he dreams that a very large man with a bushy beard breaks him out of his cupboard, and they escape on a flying motorbike.)
