Safe as Houses - Eddi Reader

One victory they burned down

And sometimes its hard

To take you kite shopping

In Neil’s yard

That was then and I don’t know how

But I was caught in the middle

And it doesn’t matter now

Wherever you are

Let me know that you’re safe

Safe as houses

On our bus ride, it struck me

We’re not apart

But stuck together

With hands of kindness and your good, good heart

That was then and I don’t know how

But I was caught in the middle

And it doesn’t matter now

Wherever you are

Let me know that you’re safe

Safe as houses

You told me, you would be, the one who’d watch over me

That was then

And I don’t know how

But I was caught in the middle

It doesn’t matter now

Wherever you are

Let me know that you’re safe

Safe as houses

That was then

And I don’t know how

But I was caught in the middle

It doesn’t matter now

Wherever you are

Let me know that you’re safe

Safe as houses
