3. "Safe in My Keep"
Alek Vila : Lyrics
Safe in My Keep
distant horizons have beckoned
and I stretch out my arms to meet them
I’ve imagined the places
that I’d like to visit
while pushing this boat on my own
In the gloom I’ve laid quietly useless
and in splendor I’m blinded and numb
the second hand ticking is my only gauge
of how steadily I’m coming along
Shooting through the airwaves
are the noises of life
bouncing off me and the stars in the sky
and I hold still as I float and dream
My memories safe in my keep
The world’s crowded shores are ailing
from hatred and envy or that’s how it seems
it’s been so long since I’ve said to you
“I’m coming home”
while pushing this boat on my own
Shooting through the airwaves
are the noises of life
bouncing off me and the stars in the sky
and I hold still as I float and dream
My memories safe in my keep
