I see her face when I close my eye's
G A
In my dream's she's there.
D Gbm
She's been gone a long long time
G A
it just seem's so unfair.
Bm Gbm
I remember returning home at night
G A
when things had gone awry
D Gbm
I was safe and sound there
G A D D D D D
I was home and dry.
D Gbm
She's past Eden rock now with her
G A
husband by her side.
D Gbm
But she's still looking out for me
G A
that can't be denied.
Bm Gbm
When she bid goodbye to me
G A
I couldn't help but cry,
D Gbm
but I was safe and sound then
G A D
I was home and dry.
D Gbm
Over the chasm of years I've thought
G A
there's something I have lost,
D Gbm
The past is always close behind
G A
the future is star-crossed.
Bm Gbm
The worst is yet to happen
G A
on that you can rely.
D Gbm
Hopefully I'll be safe and sound,
G. A D D D D
I'll be home and dry.
D Gbm
In my mind I've always had a
G A
place were I could go,
D Gbm
you can't turn back the clocks
G A
this we all do know.
Bm Gbm
nonchalantly she looks my way
G A
and asks the question why.
D Gbm
but I'll be safe and sound then
G. A D
I'll be home and dry.
D Gbm
The mistress of the unknown God
G A
had me chained and bound,
D Gbm
her grey green eyes that sparkled once
G A
have all but dimmed and died.
Bm Gbm
I ran on home in the midnight rain
G A
her love I did defy.
D Gbm
I was safe and sound again
G A D
I was home and dry.
D Gbm
I left a trail of foot prints
G A
along the waters edge,
D Gbm
thinking how impulsively we dropped
G A
the promise pledged.
Bm Gbm
But now I see the way I cared
G A
meant I'd do or die.
D Gbm
I thought I was safe and sound
G A D
thought I was home and dry.
D Gbm
I thought I was safe and sound
G A
thought I'm home and dry.
D Gbm
All the decisions made that day
G A
I know I will comply.
Bm Gbm
A walking shadow now for sure
G A
for my youth I yearn.
D Gbm
I'm not safe and sound now
I might crash and burn.
