Bad Things Coming, We Are Safe

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
