NEVER SAFE

Dark and forbidding stone walls enclose him
He's as pale as a ghost
Ebony hair shrouds his face
Silver razors substitute as hands

He's as pale as a ghost
Rescued by the Avon Lady
Silver razors substitute as hands
Taken in, given love

Rescued by the Avon Lady
Living among nosy gossips
Taken in, given love
White flakes fall from Heaven

Living among nosy gossips
His secret is out, hidden no more
White flakes fall from Heaven
He's alone again

His secret is out, hidden no more
Ebony hair shrouds his face
He's alone again
Dark and forbidding stone walls enclose him
