Save Me Lyrics - Singles - Bird York

In the afternoon 

She sits and waits for him to come 

Two swollen ankles count the time 

Nervous fingers trace 

Across the cold linoleum 

The kitchen wall receives her sigh 

"Oh, can you hear me, Joe?" 

She tries to call across the veil 

Her lips are trembling now 

Can't hear his voice , can't feel him near 

She says "Save me, save me 

Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you 

Save me, save me 

Why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through" 

The dinner table looks so strange without him sitting there 

The bed is empty on his side 

For forty years this house has held the fire of love they shared 

But now the garden slowly dies 

He said he'd never leave her alone to face the day 

What kind of God is this that'll take him back 

And make her stay 

"Save me, save me 

Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you 

Save me, save me 

Why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through? 

The kids try to come around, 

Try to make some time to see me, 

I know, the busy lives they lead 

Keep them from these memories"
