Safe at Home

from The Island by Echorec

/

lyrics

A home by the ocean,

An open window,

Curtains fly in the wind.

Midsummer morning,

A golden sunlight,

Descends upon a girl.

Yearning for adventure,

She looks to horizons for signs of worlds far beyond,

but mother knows just how to respond:

She's safer at home,

she's safe at home.

She's safer at home,

she's safe at home.

it’s all she’ll ever know (all she’ll ever know).

Under the lighthouse,

As dusk approaches,

She plans of her escape.

Hidden in the darkness,

The cold wind blowing,

A voice is calling her name.

Searching, she finds an empty bed by the open window.

She dreams of distant worlds, adventure and friendships far from home.

She has a starlight yearning,

her soul is searching on.

Lost in Moonlight,

Lying awake on a bed of assumptions, she longs to be far away.

She's a stargazer, a real home breaker.

But someone sees her...

The daughter leaves in fierce independence, or so it seemed to her.

All alone in an empty bedroom,

Mother was left behind.

Frozen in stone,

She held her resistance and watched her daughter alone, sail to the distant and unknown.

She's safer at home,

she's safe at home.

She's safer at home,

it’s all she’ll ever know (all she’ll ever know).
