Saints Preserve Us - MARC COHN[00:00:00]
I could hear the shutters banging[00:00:17]
In my mother's house[00:00:21]
And the wind just kept blowing off the lake[00:00:25]
I ran down to the front door[00:00:31]
And told the ambulance man[00:00:35]
"Everything's all right here Sir[00:00:40]
There must be some mistake"[00:00:43]
Saints preserve us[00:00:47]
We're all going down[00:00:52]
This ship is sinking in the sea[00:00:54]
Saints preserve us[00:01:02]
And carry us along[00:01:05]
For we may be together in eternity[00:01:09]
My father was staring off into another world[00:01:24]
And my mother she was laying very still[00:01:31]
The baby was crying[00:01:38]
And I tried to block it out[00:01:42]
Then from somewhere deep inside me[00:01:45]
Came a deathly chill[00:01:50]
Saints preserve us[00:01:54]
Wherever we might fall[00:01:56]
This is all too big a mystery[00:02:01]
I remember I was standing in the corner of the room[00:02:07]
Saying "Look at how she's leaving us[00:02:14]
So quietly so soon"[00:02:18]
And in her final hour[00:02:24]
I saw her reaching up her hands[00:02:27]
Like she was asking to be taken high above us[00:02:34]
Didn't she love us [00:02:41]
Saints preserve us[00:02:50]
We're all going down[00:02:53]
This ship is sinking in the sea[00:02:57]
Saints preserve us[00:03:04]
And carry us along[00:03:10]
For we may be together in eternity[00:03:11]
Saints preserve us[00:03:17]
Saints preserve us[00:03:22]
Wherever we may fall[00:03:28]
Saints preserve us[00:03:30]
Saints preserve us[00:03:36]
And carry us along[00:03:41]
