Lyrics
Safety Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you let go, baby, of the safety line
When I’m on the surface
Or down in the mines
I could travel
deeper to a place you can’t find me in
If you let go baby I could float away
Sometimes when I’m moving
I need you to stay
Always need a reason that will bring me back up again
The times when I tunnel below
I need you to never let go
Be my tether baby when I lose the time
When I’m growing dim on the horizon line
When you see me sounding all the danger signs again
If you let go baby I could disappear
In the upper reaches of the atmosphere
Always need a reason that will bring me back down again
The times when you watch from below
I need you to never let go
When I grow dim on the horizon line
I need you then…
Come on baby tether me down
