Honey, You'll Be Safe With Me

a friend's loving arms - When the sun is cracked open on the side of the world & you feel you may drown in the flame When your heart is cracked open & your love is unfurl'd & you cry cus it's one crying shame Lift up the sun, cus inside there's a pearl And there's one in your heart just the same & I'll string them right through, and tie them on you Honey, you'll be safe with me When the light drops its guard and the darkness pours in And you feel you're alone with your eyes When you drop your guard and your vulnerable skin is pierced by some savage disguise Don't be afraid of the dark, through the night you can swim And your skin will heal up, it's no lie When the smile shines through from the centre of you Honey, you'll be safe with me When the soldier comes home with the lead in his bones And he's looking for a safe place to hide When your lover comes home on his treacherous throne & he's asking for a generous bride Tell 'em, "leave me alone, cus I'm not on my own" Tell 'em, "Go now, you can't come inside" Of your house that's brand new, the one I built for you Honey, you'll be safe with me I seen the smile shine through from the centre of you Honey, you'll be safe with me Words & Music by JB Newman copyright JB Newman 2007
