I Will Save You, Mother - Robin Carolan & Sebastian Gainsborough

Love will save you When the ocean splits itself in two And love will save you When the cold wind blows right through you And love will save you When the poison eats the precious air And love will save you From the snake that crawls around down there But it won't Save me Now, love will save you From the evil and greed of ignorant men And love will save you From the guilt you feel when you betray your only friend And love will save you From yourself when you lose control And love will save you From all the lies your lover told you But it won't Save me And love will save you From the truth when you think you're free And love will save you From the cold light of boring reality And love will save you From the corruption of your lazy-minded soul And love will save you From your selfish and distorted goals But it won't Save Love will save you From the black night and the lightning and the ghost And love will save you From your misery, then tie you to the bloody post And love will save you From the hands that pull you down beneath the sea And love may save all you people But it will never, never save me No, it won't Save

I won't lift you up And I won't drag you down I'll be quiet as a mouse in church No you won't hear a sound I know it's been heavy I know you carry a real haul But I'm lighter than nothing now In fact, I barely exist at all Not since I've given it up I can't take any credit And I might live to regret it But now it's done You ask me: are you ready? I say it has to be now We have take ourselves this long Just wearing each other out I used to want disciples Watch them drinketh from my cup I used to want a fancy funeral But now I'm just a sucker for your love All the rest I have given it up As much as it is tempting Consume until I'm empty Enough is enough

Didnt wanna start a fire, Didnt wanna start a thing beyond desire, Didnt wanna watch it out, didnt wanna talk it out and be a liar, Words change everything, you change everything with words, Again, again Words change everything, you change everything with words, Again again, I cant save you, I cant save you Even though I want to baby, I cant save you, I cant save you Even though I want to baby
