Safe Return
(words and music by Brian Kious and Randall Belt)

I hate the way he treats you so kind
And I hate the way he's always on your mind
And I hate the way he'll show up
And take you away
But I'll wait for your safe return anyway

I hate the way he holds the door
And I hate the way he's holding you more
And I hate the way you'll kiss him goodnight
But I'll wait for your safe return tonight

For your safe return tonight
Though I might be burned
I'm alright
For your safe return tonight

I hate the way he treats you so kind
And I hate the way he takes all your time
And I hate the way you'll never be mine
But I'll wait for your safe return anytime

Song notes:

Brian sings the leading vocal and Randy sings the leading harmony.  Nil De Silva played the drums on this 3/4 time waltz song.
The cello-like sound you hear was created by using a bow on Randy's viola bass.  It took a number of takes to get this right on a fretted instrument but it worked out.
