SAVE ME

When the night comes down
On this lonely town
And the streets are as empty as my heart

There's a clock on the wall
With no time left at all
And this house of cards is falling apart

There's a voice in my head
That says, "God's not dead."
He's just quiet, quiet and waiting.

That's when my songs become prayers
That hang in the air
And my soul, my soul's elevating

I'm singing save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me

I wear my pride well
In a gentleman's hell
I'm a creature of habit and hunger

And when the shadows grow long
You know that something is wrong, something's wrong
And you're not, no you're not getting any stronger

You've got to save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me

Well, turn the lights on
I see the twilight is gone
And the howling, the howlings are in the dark
I'm on my knees and I beg the Lord, "Please
Take your cold, cold hands from my heart."

You've got to save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me from myself
Save me

This was a group effort with everyone contributing little riffs, guitar/keys/drums interplay, driving bass. Then there's Douglas' solo...
