What's the meaning of "dry" in the lyrics?
I like a song "Cecilia And The Satellite" by "Andrew Mcmahon".
In the lyrics, a man (i.e., I) expresses his innermost for loved one (i.e., you) as below.
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
However, I could not understand the meaning of "I'd keep you dry".
I think "dry" is similar to "thirsty", it seems like a negative word.
What's the meaning of "dry" in the lyrics?

Have you ever seen the music video? It's about loving his daughter and in the music video they're sitting on a boat, so the boat keeps her safe and dry until she decides to go do something. The video connects a lot with the song.
She's just a little girl and when she leaves the boat to jump in the water she's already a grown up so that's what I got from it.

Keep you from becoming wet. Likely reference to rain, which may be symbol for bad times.

Dry here could mean above the clouds and out of / above the rain.

Maybe he mean dry from tears (I won't let you cry), I'm waiting for someone to explain.
