Words and music by Roddy Frame



I'm not trying to say

I'm so much stronger than you

I'm just trying to save you

From that long dark night

You've been down on your knees

Building up a big brick wall

Too scared to fly so you'll never fall

You're safe in sorrow.

So turn on the light

I'll make you feel

That all of tonight

Is realer than real.

Feel my devotion dawning

Slowly like a summer day

You'll see you don't have to be safe in sorrow.



We look at the world

And see it's bigger than we'll be

Take a look at the stars

They shine so free

You've been down on your knees

Building up a big brick wall

Too scared to fly

so you'll never fall

You're safe in sorrow.



So turn on the light

I'll make you feel

That all of tonight

Is realer than real.

Open your arms and let me in

Don't stay safe from harm

Let love begin

Take that ride

There's no need to hide

So safe in sorrow



You've been down on your knees

Building up a big brick wall

Too scared to fly so you'll never fall

You're safe in sorrow.

Just open your eyes

Then you will see

There's no need to be

So safe in sorrow

Let me turn on the light

Then you will see

My love is for free

You're safe from sorrow now.
