Safe and Sound

In the wee small hours of the morning dark When the robin wakens the dawn With the mockingbird and the meadowlark You are on my mind Oh, you are on my mind When the fireflies come like a summer dream And the honeysuckle's in bloom When the poplar sway in a gentle breeze Oh, you are on my mind Yes, you are on my mind Down the cobblestone to the village square While the baker sets his dough I walk our dog in the autumn air But you are on my mind Oh, you are on my mind Safe and sound, safe and sound Please come home to me When the arctic wind begins to blow And the chimney's smoking all night Then I think of how you love the snow 'Cause you are on my mind Oh, you are on my mind When your ship drops anchor at Sterling Bay And your feet are safely on shore My yearlong night will break into day 'Till then you are on my mind Oh, darling, you're on my mind Safe and sound, safe and sound Please come home to me Oh, safe and sound, safe and sound Please come home to me, home to me
