Safe and Sound Songtext
von The Big Pink

Counting up the stakes
Does the long game waste a moment?
Waiting on rain, rationing what′s left to lose
All the time it takes picking up from where we started
Wonder what we're running from or to

We need something to hold on to
Your tell-tale heart
You echo, I respond

Turn the ship around, we′re too good to be drifting
Safe and sound
Turn the ship around, got to find what we're missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out before we run aground
There′s no easy way out, turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Mystery and rage, you′re too pretty for a cage of burden
Trying to get the gist, every page I skipped and burnt
Dancing with them vultures in my fugitive apartment
Angel with her wing clipped gunning for the love that ours


We need something to hold on to
Your tell-tale heart
You echo and I respond

Turn the ship around, we're too good to be drifting
Safe and sound
Turn the ship around, got to find what we′re missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out before we run aground
There′s no easy way out, turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Running forwards overrated
Every doorway leads to a million more
And I'm not sure how we got here
Running forwards overrated
Every doorway leads to a million more
And I want more


Turn the ship around, we′re too good to be drifting
Safe and sound
Turn the ship around, got to find what we're missing
Hold it down
Don't be blowing out before we run aground
There′s no easy way out, turn the ship around
Safe and sound

Counting up the stakes
Does the long game waste a moment?
