One victory they burned down
And sometimes its hard
To take you kite shopping
In Neil's yard

That was then and I don't know how
But I was caught in the middle
And it doesn't matter now
Wherever you are
Let me know that you're safe
Safe as houses

On our bus ride, it struck me
We're not apart
But stuck together
With hands of kindness and your good, good heart

That was then and I don't know how
But I was caught in the middle
And it doesn't matter now
Wherever you are
Let me know that you're safe
Safe as houses

You told me, you would be, the one who'd watch over me
That was then
And I don't know how
But I was caught in the middle
It doesn't matter now
Wherever you are
Let me know that you're safe
Safe as houses

That was then
And I don't know how
But I was caught in the middle
It doesn't matter now
Wherever you are
Let me know that you're safe
Safe as houses
