Lyrics

Safety

You saw a time to come

Where the eyes of the world would see as one

You saw a time to come

Where all of our laughter is seen through the eyes of the son

And you'll get angry in this town

'Cause you've seen more than what's been found

Can't be too needy in this town

'Cause there's enough of that around

Safety in lovers

Freedom from therein

Safety in lovers

And somewhere to begin

You saw a time to come

Where the eyes of the world will cry as one

You saw a time to come

Where all our work's not done as for the good of one

And you'll get angry in this town

'Cause there's not more than what's been found

Can't be too needy in this town

'Cause there's enough of that around

Safety in lovers

Freedom from therein

Safety in lovers

And somewhere to begin

Safety in lovers

Freedom from within

Safety in lovers

And somewhere to begin
