Safe in Sorrow

Words and music by Roddy Frame

I'm not trying to say
I'm so much stronger than you
I'm just trying to save you
From that long dark night
You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.
So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real.
Feel my devotion dawning
Slowly like a summer day
You'll see you don't have to be safe in sorrow.

We look at the world
And see it's bigger than we'll be
Take a look at the stars
They shine so free
You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly
so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.

So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real.
Open your arms and let me in
Don't stay safe from harm
Let love begin
Take that ride
There's no need to hide
So safe in sorrow

You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.
Just open your eyes
Then you will see
There's no need to be
So safe in sorrow
Let me turn on the light
Then you will see
My love is for free
You're safe from sorrow now.
