[Verse 1]
Caught between launch and landing
Stood still...still moving
Safe in sound
Safe in sound

Now this endless slow
Passage to wait
Sent to let you know
Designed to fascinate
How best to recognise
A growing pain
But it's holding us
So nearly, so nearly

[Chorus]
Safe in sound
Safe in sound

[Verse 2]
Tell me in tongues and hushed whispers
Soft as feathers
Line them up and send them down the river
See how far they've come
And I picture you with flowers
Sleeping on a name
I would wait forever
To hear that sound you'll make
[Chorus]
Safe in sound
You are safe in sound
Sound
Sound

[Outro]
Cut to pieces
Torn to ribbons
Caustic in your criticism
