Safety Lyrics
Beth Orton
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 as through the eyes of the
Son.
An youll get angry in this town,
Cos youve seen more than whats been found,
Cant be too needy in this town,
Cos theres enough of that around.
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
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 works not done as for the good of one.
Youll get angry in this town,
Cos youve seen more than whats been found,
Cant be too needy in this town,
Cos theres enough of that around.
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
Safety in lovers,
And somewhere to begin,
Safety in lovers,
Freedom from there in,
Safety in lovers,
And somewhere to begin.
