Safe Harbor

Post by iVeg »

Safe Harbour - iveg ripping off Danielle Steel.

Chilly, foggy Northern California day
I'm sitting near my beach shack on a folding stool
Painting boats and sunset from my imagination
When the sand is cold, the beach is empty, and the sky is gray

Looking for a
Safe harbor in the middle of the storm
Shelter from the pounding waves
Where the deck is dry and the coffee's warm
Safe harbor, I can't get there soon enough
So I can go back to the one I love


Sniffing chocolate labrador at waters edge
He's pawing at the seaweed for a hidden crab
Skinny little red head escaped her baby sitter
Nowhere else to go, her mom's in rehab, it's a lonely day

CH2 Safe harbor, protected from the wind
Where maybe we can learn to live again


This isn't a Nicholas Sparks novel
Nobody has to die
I can hope for a better ending
It's gonna turn out alright

CH3 LIVING IN A
...
Safe harbor, shielded from the rain
Where we can learn to love despite the pain


Ed 4-29.

SAFE HARBOR
Micah Sommersmith

My love, my darling, my child,
When you’re lost on a limitless ocean,
And the winds are relentless and wild,
And you haven’t the ghost of a notion

Of where you have come from, or where you are headed,
Or whether you’ll ever spy land,
Through all the doldrums, through whatever weather,
Just reach out and I’ll take your hand.

And I’ll sail with you on any tide
To the horizon and farther
Wherever we’re carried, I’ll be by your side
Until we reach safe harbor

My child, my darling, my love
There’s such a wide world to discover
And no threats from below or above
Can harm us while we have each other

So hoist up the anchor and unfurl the sails
Have courage, there’s nothing to fear
We’ll face the dangers, the storms and the gales
Whenever you need me, I’m here

And I’ll sail with you on any tide
To the horizon and farther
Wherever we’re carried, I’ll be by your side
Until we reach safe harbor

Yes I’ll sail with you on any tide
To the horizon and farther
Wherever we’re carried, I’ll be by your side
Until we reach safe harbor

Macaque Attack - "Safe Harbour"

Verse 1
It was never going to end well
Stress has never been a friend of mine
As brittle as an eggshell
But wife and kids expect me to provide
Doors opened due to breeding
Not expertise or blood or sweat or tears
Should be fighting, not conceding
I've guilt for those I've let down through the years

Bridge 1
I, I can't go on.
But I, I must sail on.
I must steel myself and I, I must soldier on.
'Til safe harbour I come upon.

Chorus 1
No man is an island, but I was landlocked in deceit.
Time for some coastline.
Too many lies that I've lived, too much arid fallow land.
When flowers bloom here again, it'll be by my own hand.

Verse 2
Colleagues saw me leaving
Was pushed before I run my ship aground
My father disbelieving
Head spinning as I'm headed homeward bound
No tower of strength or virtue
I'm stood facing the door feeling absurd
My story now to get through
They saw it coming, left without a word

Bridge 2
I, I can't go on.
But I, I must sail on.
I must steel myself and I, I must soldier on.
'Til safe harbour I come upon.

Chorus 2
No man is an island, but I was landlocked in deceit.
Time for some coastline.
Too many lies that I've lived, too much arid fallow land.
When flowers bloom here again, it'll be by my own hand.

Verse 3
Despite my flaws and failings
Should not've been abandoned as I was
But my spirit is prevailing
Surround myself now with the ones I love
Time to look inside for guidance
The pressure to succeed I now refuse
Build a life of self reliance
Accept my faults and live the life I choose

Chorus 3
Turn from portside danger, back to starboard harbour shelter.
Time to level off a while.
Simplify the life that I lead, untangle knotted rigging ruin.
My losses and all my wins, will be of my own doing.

Chorus 4
Plentiful seas around me, fertile pasture lies ahead.
Calm seas until landfall.
New life starts tomorrow, the last will not be mourned.
No pressures and no more fears, finally a life reborn.

Safe Harbour by Mister Johnny Cashpoint

Single minded, thick as shit; but
Deep down you're so sensitive, so
Who am I to give friends stick for
Acting like a massive prick? You've
Put me in hard situations on
More than one awkward occasion but
Rather lose my wanking arm than
Ever let you come to harm!

Always offer you safe harbour,
Protect you from the latest palavah.
Even though you make my life harder, you're
Still my closest friend - so I'm
Watching over you,
Looking down on you, it's true ...
Got to get a grip on you -
What else was I born to do?

Wind-swept solo no.1

I can't stay annoyed at you - you're
Only doing what dicks do; and
What comes up time and again is
You're my only real friend. I'd
Amputate my wanking arm
Before I'd let it do you harm, so
Stand up straight and standing proud -
When it comes to Mates*, you're well endowed!

Always offer you safe harbour, you're
Part of me, you're my silent partner.
Like I'm disappointed father, I'll
Watch over you 'til the end ...

Wind-swept solo no.2

(What else was I born to do)?

What it comes down to in the end - we
All need to depend on friends.

Just in case folks somehow missed it, I
Just sang a love song to my "big" dick.


*'Mates' is a brand of condom in the UK.

Safe Harbor by Levittdown

There were boats in the water
The last time that we walked
By the river not too far from us
The way that the water
Shimmered as we talked
I forgot about the diamonds and the dust

I loved you like river
I loved you like sun
I loved you forever
We barely had begun

You were my safe harbor
You were my cool water
You were the place where I belong
You were my connection
You were my direction
You were the one I depend on

People stood and watched at the water
We kept walking
The river seemed to go on forever
Your eyes looked down to the water
I was talking
But my voice trailed to the sound of never

I couldn't be there
I couldn't be love
I couldn't be forever
I couldn't be the one

You were my safe harbor
You were my cool water
You were the place where I belong
You were my connection
You were my direction
You were the one I depend on

When I [hj] ear your words spoken
I know you'll always[s] be there [f]for me
You give me
Safe[f] [h]harbor

Safe Harbor by the Overambitious

What do you want from me
I’ve been trying to sleep
I’m void in my heart
Cause In seconds I read
The signs on the stone cause
The wall is all that I’ve known
What do you want from me
In my silence I can’t sleep

And I can’t sleep

If we can’t sleep
Then let us dream
Of greater things
Where we can believe

You know that feeling when you’re walking in the dark
And you can’t see your hand in front of you
Well I don’t know what to do
But someone’s gotta choose
Cause there’s a gun to my temple
And it’s not that simple
And it’s not what you think because
I’m going deeper than the life of a being

And I can’t sleep

If we can’t sleep
Then let us dream
Of greater things
Where we can believe

I look at a year ago
I was looking for an antidote
Now I look another year old
And I’m still not safe harbor gold

It goes like this
A sinking ship
Movin back n forth
With the old man beside you
You find that most things aren’t true
But the skies are still blue

If we can’t sleep
Then let us dream
Of greater things
Where we can believe

Safe Harbour (Boilermaker)

Me, I've always been a traveller
Everywhere that I went
Owls they see everything
With their eyes they're so intelligent

How would you ever notice
Or believe that you could be the only one
Only one with a torch bright enough to honour me
Til forever

Ch1
Bubble bubble, toil and trouble
Arise, oxygenate, and then depart from 'neath the rubble
Rebuild repair restore, I know you've always wanted so much more
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour

Be aware that in reality
Reports concur the tragedy
Any and all of these things
You say might be held against you

Ch2
Bubble bubble toil and trouble
Arise and then depart from underneath the rubble
Rebuild repair I no u wantd so much mor but heatd bonds set hardr
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour

Nobody listens
Everyone whispers
Inside your ears
Giving your heavy-handed
Heart blisters

Me, I was once a boilermaker
You could say I used to cook with gas

Now I'm just an old sunflower
Oh, no, not such a bonny lass
Acetylene
How so unsettling
Subtle, subtle, soil and struggle

Arise from underneath the rubble
Rebuild repair restore, you know heated bonds set harder
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour
Everything is about perspective. :shock:
