Safe In Your Arms Lyrics - Comfort Of Strangers - Beth Orton

Home is where the heartbreak 

Wraps cold around my bones 

Forgets me if I promise 

To forget what I have known 

Ignores and never mentions 

I just came waltzing in 

With stories 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 its suffering 

An illusion is hope born from fear 

And now you're right back here 

Safe in my arms my dear 

And 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 

Draw the 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 defies its suffering 

An illusion is hope born from fear 

But now I'm right back here 

Safe in your arms my dear 

Safe in your arms my dear 

Safe in your arms my dear
