Eddi Reader - Safe As Houses lyrics

One victory they burned down
And sometimes it's 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
