SAFER PLACE

©WORDS & MUSIC BY Pam Tate 1994

I hear the bombs bursting in air
I close my eyes but they're still there
And now they're landing right next door
I hear their mighty roar
I wonder what it's for

And our money's almost spent
I remember every cent
And now they're telling us to go
Where we just don't know
Whichever way the wind blows

But it's a safer place
When we're together
It's a safer place
When we're not alone
It's a safer place
In out of the weather
It's a safer place
When you're far from home

They say the tanks are in the streets
Mowing down the ones they meet
And I've got to get some sleep
Turn out the bedroom light
And stay here for the night

Chorus

Bridge
They say the end is near
There'll be nothing more to fear
We can go our separate ways
Forget that we were ever near
With no more to defend
But hold me until then
'Cause I'm safe in the shelter of your net
And I can't let go yet
Not yet

Chorus
