Safe and Sound
Alister Douglas
You tried to warn me
Like the autumn skies turn grey
You were fading
Winter seemed so far away
I should have been there
To stay your restless mind
My dreams so vivid
While your memories unwind
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
In a place you will call home
In a place you’ll come to loathe
They always said that
We were stitched together
I never noticed
You were picking at the seams
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
In a place you will call home
In a place you’ll come to loathe
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
Half a world away
But I love you all the same
