To Keep You Safe From Harm & Trouble Songtext
von David & the Citizens

What′s it all about, this stranger waving?
Singing songs for me like I was a baby
I'm in a good place, I am in a warm world
And I′m not telling a single word, I'm gonna keep it all
Within
I'm in the kitchen and I see my mother, she is working in the garden like nothing ever happened
A fragile bird, I know now
Dressed in hopes and wishes
And I won′t let anything happen to you
I′m gonna keep you under my wings


There's something growing, and I don′t know what it is
There's a creature crawling in my legs
Sister/brother, come with me
Chase it away, let me be
There′s someone calling
A voice familiar
Cut a piece of me
Point a finger
Where are you headed, I don't know
But I won′t let any sadness shine through, no, I'm gonna keep it under my
Skin
This was an accident, and accidentally you stumble into things that weren't meant to be
Sister/brother, come with me
Get the monster, make it bleed
You have been wide open
You have been a clam
Your voice was a bulldozer, clearing a path
You acted a guiding light
You acted a black hole
And I could never sound that loud no matter how hard I try
You acted a guiding light and you acted a silent knight
You told me stories
Drew me pictures stolen from the dead
And when we meet on a rusty morning, I′ll pay you back
I′ll pay you double
I'll hold your head, I′ll lift you high
I'll keep you safe from harm and trouble
