Beth Orton - Safe In Your Arms lyrics

rate me

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 its 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 its suffering

an illusion is hope born from fear

but now I'm right back here

safe in your arms my dear
