Marc Cohn - Saints Preserve Us lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 I could hear the shutters banging

In my mother's house

And the wind just kept blowing off the lake

I ran down to the front door

And told the ambulance man

"everything's all right here sir

There must be some mistake"



Chorus 1

Saints preserve us

We're all going down

This ship is sinking in the sea

Saints preserve us

And carry us along

For we may be together in eternity



My father was staring off into another world

And my mother she was laying very still

The baby was crying

And I tried to block it out

Then from somewhere deep inside me

Came a deathly chill



Chorus 2

Saints preserve us

Wherever we might fall

This is all too big a mystery

I remember I was standing in the corner of the room

Saying "look at how she's leaving us

So quietly so soon"



And in her final hour

I saw her reaching up her hands

Like she was asking to be taken high above us

Didn't she love us? 



Chorus 1



Ending chorus

Saints preserve us

Saints preserve us

Wherever we may fall

Saints preserve us

Saints preserve us

And carry us along
