Out of Harm's Way is what it says on the tin... a song about escaping a situation that is harmful to you. The track is heavily influenced by Neil Young and sees Denney returning to his folky roots.
lyrics
Where do you get it from?
It could have been anyone
In a sky so bright
You’re like the loneliest star
Far from it all
With a heart full of emptiness
Just who am I dealing with?
Will you ever change-
The games, and tricks that you play?
Far from it all
I’m thinking that you never knew me well
But it feels much better
Knowing I can tell myself
That I am out of harm’s way
At least I’m out of harm’s way
I wonder if you ever see the sun
And I don’t know whether
You can feel the consequence
So tell me
What do you want for me?
I’m not going back again
To the life I had
Before my lucky escape
Far from it all
I’m out of harm’s way
At least I’m out of harm’s way
I guess I’m out of harm’s way
Yes, I’m out of harm’s way
