Safe Passage - Jennifer Clay Lyrics

When her shadow first fell on the steps of the institution
It never occurred to her that she may never leave
They led her to a room at the end of a hallway
They gave her some pills that she tried to hide in her sleeve
Jennifer Clay
She won't be going home today
Jennifer Clay…Jennifer Clay
They wouldn't let her mingle with the others
She watched them through the window of her door
Angry and confused
She started runnin' 'round
She circled fifty times then fell to the ground
Jennifer Clay
She won't be leaving her room today
Jennifer Clay… Jennifer Clay
Caught up in the ether between…
(Her mind wanders through the skylight, an image on a screen…)
Reality and her dreams…
(A picture in a book that mesmerizes like a dream…)
Remembering pictures of places far from here…
(The workers they go home at night and leave her world behind…)
She makes the walls disappear.
(She catches just a glimpse of freedom only in her mind.)
Jennifer Clay
She won't be getting outta bed today
Jennifer Clay
She won't be leaving her room today
Jennifer Clay
She won't be going home today
Jennifer Clay… she's here to stay
Out through the door in her mind and her thoughts, with a whisper… she's gone.

When her shadow first fell on the steps of the institution
It never occurred to her that she may never leave
They led her to a room at the end of a hallway
They gave her some pills that she tried to hide in her sleeve
Jennifer Clay

Jennifer Clay…Jennifer Clay
They wouldn't let her mingle with the others
She watched them through the window of her door
Angry and confused
She started runnin' 'round
She circled fifty times then fell to the ground
Jennifer Clay
She won't be leaving her room today
Jennifer Clay… Jennifer Clay
Caught up in the ether between…
(Her mind wanders through the skylight, an image on a screen…)
Reality and her dreams…
(A picture in a book that mesmerizes like a dream…)
Remembering pictures of places far from here…

She won't be leaving her room today
Jennifer Clay
She won't be going home today
Jennifer Clay… she's here to stay
Out through the door in her mind and her thoughts, with a whisper… she's gone.
