Safe in Sound

Caught between launch

And landing

Stood still, still moving

Safe in sound

(Safe)

Now this endless slow

(In sound)

Passage to wait

Sent to let you know

Designed to fascinate

How best to recognise

A growing pain

But it's holdin' us

So nearly, so nearly

Safe in sound

Safe in sound

(Safe)

Tell me in tongues and

Hushed whispers

(In sound)

Soft as feathers and

Line them up

And send them down the river

See how far they've come

(Safe)

And I

I picture you with flowers

(In sound)

Sleeping on a name

And I would wait forever

To hear that sound you'll make

Safe in sound

(Safe in sound)

Safe in sound

(Safe in)

Sound

Sound

Sound

Cut to pieces

Torn to ribbons

Caustic in your criticism
