Edward come and sit with me
I fell asleep and now I am afraid
The sun came up so quick
And I have always been suspicious of the day
Dream I had that you were in
Turned bad, and then it finished
And I am glad to be awake
Glad to be with you
'Cause I feel safe when we're together
Read to me again about the king
Who took his daughter to the feast
Tell me how she lifted up her veils
And she laid them at his feet
Execution in her eyes, she pointed to her prize
And said 'I want him to be mine!'
And everyone knew
A man was gonna lose his head tonight!
I heard a sound across the lawns
Was like a hoof being taken from a horse
I understand what you describe
That there are things you don't decide
They are decided for us
Still, I would trust
That we are safe when we're together
Edward come and tell me
Are there restaurants on Jericho today?
Look out of the windows on St. Giles'
Do the palaces remain?
I have woken from this sleep
Now I'm sure the world is different
That it's changed
Oh, so Edward, come and tell me
Are there restaurants on Jericho today?
I heard a sound across the lawns
Was like a wave sweeping houses from the shore
I understand what you explain
That there are things that you believe
You think you will see me again
But it remains
That if I could, I'd string a cord
Right from my stomach into yours
I'd stand beside you the day you face the tide
I think that I could make it turn around
Know I could make it go dry
'Cause you and I -
We are safe when we're together
