John Tams
Safe House
Run for cover find another town along the road
You're flying blind
You've seen the small-town losers
Left out in the cold
Shelter is the one thing on your mind

These are hard-times for winning
Harder if you lose
You've got nowhere left to try
Every day's engraved into the soles of you shoes
Just to find a place to lie

Come in, lie easy lay down your weary brow
You're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now
I said, you're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now

Pack a sack, turn your back
Put your face against the tide
It gets harder every time
All the same old signals say
It's time to step outside
You're not just the victim – you're the crime

Come in, lie easy lay down your weary brow
You're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now
I said, you're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now
Time will come for everyone to step outside a while
Chase the rainbow – hail the bright new morn
Searching for a resting place along the crooked mile
Empty handed orphans of the storm

Come in, lie easy lay down your weary brow
You're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now
I said, you're welcome here kind stranger
You're in a safe house now
