Safe In Your Arms Lyrics by Beth Orton
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Home is where the heartbreak
Wraps cold around my bones
Forgives me if I promise
To forget what I have known
Ignores and never mentions
I just came waltzing in
With stones tied together
With broken bits of string

Time moves so sure
Runs rings around the trees
Its silence mocking
In the wind against the leaves
For all your loss and gain
The soul defines the suffering
An illusion is hope born from fear
And now you’re right back here
Safe in my arms my dear

All is as I left it
Never more so what it seems
My bed is as I made it
Just not what went between
And I still feel alive
In what is no longer there
The shadows slide behind
Drawing clouds across the air

Time moves so sure
Runs rings around the trees
Its silence whispers
In the wind against the leaves
For all your loss and gain
The soul defines the suffering
An illusion is hope born from fear
But now I’m right back here
Safe in your arms my dear
Home is where the heartbreak    Wraps cold around my bones    Forgives me if I promise    To forget what I have known    Ignores and never mentions    I just came waltzing in    With stones tied together    With broken bits of string       Time moves so sure    Runs rings around the trees    Its silence mocking    In the wind against the leaves    For all your loss and gain    The soul defines the suffering    An illusion is hope born from fear    And now you’re right back here    Safe in my arms my dear       All is as I left it    Never more so what it seems    My bed is as I made it    Just not what went between    And I still feel alive    In what is no longer there    The shadows slide behind    Drawing clouds across the air       Time moves so sure    Runs rings around the trees    Its silence whispers    In the wind against the leaves    For all your loss and gain    The soul defines the suffering    An illusion is hope born from fear    But now I’m right back here    Safe in your arms my dear
