Safe Harbor
Words and Music by Liam Robinson

Safe harbor
You were taken by a storm
The people of this town cannot stay here anymore
And you say
You could see the warning signs in the rearview
You could hear that warning bell behind you
Oh, but you could not hear it then

The wind cried and the tide rose,
But we can’t live in hiding and we fight for what’s ours until it goes
‘Till it’s gone

Safe harbor
You were taken by a storm
Just look at the sky, my love and I, we can’t stay here anymore
And I say
I could see the warning signs in the headlights
I could see that flickering storm in the dark night
Oh, but I could not show you then

Well the wind cried and the tide rose,
But we can’t live in hiding and you fight for what’s ours until it goes
‘Till it’s gone

My lover,
I left you like a storm
This hurricane heart of mine cannot stay here anymore
And I say
My bags are packed and my car’s out back and I’m a-leavin;
You heard the back door slam and you started believin’
Oh, ‘cause you could not hear me then.

Well the wind screamed and the rain fell and the mud rose and the flood came,
But you fight for what’s yours until it goes
‘Till it’s gone
