Safe In Your Arms
Home is where the heartbreak wraps cold around my bones
Forgives 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 the trees
The silence mocking in the wind against the leaves
For all your loss and gain, the soul defines its suffering
An illusion is hope born from fear
But now you're right back here
Safe in my arms, my dear
And all is as I left it, never more so what it seemed
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, draw the clouds across the air
Time moves so sure, runs rings around the trees
The silence whispers in the wind against the leaves
For all your loss and gain, the soul defined its suffering
An illusion was hope born from fear
But now I'm right back here
Safe in your arms, my dear
Safe in your arms, my dear
Safe in your arms, my dear
