I've been watching the news
   And it doesn't feel safe
   It seems so far removed from this slumbering place
   Cat at the hearth... dog at the door
   Restless as sparrows awaiting the dawn
   Don't go out tonight
   Don't leave me alone
   It doesn't feel safe in our English home
   There's fear in my heart
   In my ear a whisper
   Are you afraid too, or is it just me ?
  
   Never promise anyone forever
   I cross my heart and hope to die
   You see through the whitest lie
   Never promise anyone forever
  
   Where are we travelling to
   Don't go out tonight
   It doesn't feel safe
   When I took in the mirror I don't see my face
   Shut up our ears to the madness outside
   We'll study old photographs
   And listen to tunes
   It's too cold and dark
   Stay here by the fire
   It doesn't feel safe
   To live with a liar
  
   Understand how you've confused second-hand with dead...
   Tell me what am I supposed to do now ?
   I would cry for a thousand years
   Shed a thousand tears
   Oh but now I fear you wouldn't believe it
