Lyrics for Safe in Your Arms
Home is where the heartbreak Wraps cold around my bones Forgive me if I promise To forget what I have known Ignores and never mentions I just came waltzing in With stories tied together With broken bits of string Time moves so sure Runs rings around he treees Its silence mocking In the wind against the leaves For all your loss and gain The soul defines it's suffering An illusion is hope born from fear And now you're right back here Safe in my arms my dear All is as I left it Never more so what it seems My bed is as I made it Just not what went between And I still feel alive In what is no longer there The shadows slide behind Drawing clouds across the air Time moves so sure Turns rings around the trees Its silence whispers In the wind against the leaves For all your loss and gain The soul defies it's suffering An illusion is hope born from fear But now I'm right back here Safe in your arms my dear
