Didn't I say that I'd return?
It's good to say hello
I've been there but the troops have all gone home

Been across the clearing to the watchtower
Heads down under the crossfire
It's dizzying this; the distance between us,
From hand to hand
The width of the amazon
It's safe, safe again to love

We'd struck out for the low hills and I know just what I tasted
My heart is in your hands
My head is in your head
But now I'm here
Pressed ear to ear
From mouth to mouth the width of an eyelash
It's safe, safe again to love

Head straight on while it burns
We must try harder
Just to head straight on while it burns
We've got to try harder
Look at God coming down
In the shape of a shadow
It might even stay safe once again
to love if we exercise some self control
If we exorcise the thing that's wrong...
If we exercise some self control,
if we exorcise the thing that's wrong...
