Safe in Arms (Instrumental) - Gray Matter Game

Brightened eyes, my secrets lie not far away

His medals and his badges are all dull by day

Many have I an answered plea, my general now I’ll often see

He comes at dawn, out on the lawn, in quiet steps

With darkened eyes and wounds that bled, have pillow for his weary head

He lays his body down to rest, among the dogs and gathered nest

Because he’s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see

Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me

From Jericho back home to me

He sleeps so deep, so still at peace, and quiet thus

No frightful dreams, of battle’s roar, that shake his trust

I hope that he, is dreaming on, of better days

The morning fog, and waking sun, have healing ways

I’ll let him sleep, and soundly lay

A monument to him I pray

Because he’s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see

Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me

From Jericho back home to me

For bruises fade, no traces left, as quick as frost

And never will, I have to know, a lover lost

My peace is made, my doubts rolled up, my bed complete

His waking gaze, and heart and soul, light on my sheets

Because he’s safe in arms now, what luck have I that I should see

Safe in arms now, my bloody boy returned to me

From Jericho back home to me
