Melanie Safka - Save Me

Hey you in the distance,
you smiled from my past
Here's a song I wrote for you
and all I'm left to do
Is feel when I sing it

She speaks in staccato
and she writes without rhyme
I keep leaving love about
and keeping myself out
All that's left is to feel it
and I feel all the time

Save me, save me

Take the lady out walking
with a bottle of wine
Kiss a little in the glow
of the drinking if it snows
She won't freeze and shatter

Let her down with the dawning,
let her break like she will
Cause there's nothing you can do
I'm the kind that makes it through,
just to crumble and shatter
But she's just being silly,
so what does it matter

Save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me

Take my dreams on vacation
to a room with a view
Out the window all I see
is the space inside of me
That could be filled with you

Love lost in the difference
of opinions you're gone
And I'm home again with pride
and a little love inside
And a lot more alone
And a lot more alone

All my doorways are open
on todays without form
And I cover up the night
and the warmth of love and light
And the yet to be born
I'm closing the distance
with love in the far, far away

Save me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me
