Safe In My Arms

Safe In My Arms

I wish I could talk to you all night
To look into your eyes seeing your pain

Pains that hurt you deep inside the soul
Scarred for life with invisible holes

I wish I could hold you in my arms
Safe near me where nothing matters

Just you and me hiding for the world
Waiting till all the scars stop bleeding

The bloodshed that occured in your life
It will be over when we appear to talk

I wish I could caress your curly hair
Following the curves of your cheeks

With my fingertips closing your eyes
Speaking about the safe harbour inside

Let me be the one who will take care
The one that will be there for you

Safe in my arms you are now secure
Security is that what I can offer

While the dark ages are now over
I will not pretend to be the saviour
