[00:00:00] Saints Preserve Us (LP版) - MARC COHN

[00:00:17] I could hear the shutters banging

[00:00:21] In my mother's house

[00:00:25] And the wind just kept blowing off the lake

[00:00:31] I ran down to the front door

[00:00:35] And told the ambulance man

[00:00:40] "Everything's all right here Sir

[00:00:43] There must be some mistake"

[00:00:47] Saints preserve us

[00:00:52] We're all going down

[00:00:54] This ship is sinking in the sea

[00:01:02] Saints preserve us

[00:01:05] And carry us along

[00:01:09] For we may be together in eternity

[00:01:24] My father was staring off into another world

[00:01:31] And my mother she was laying very still

[00:01:38] The baby was crying

[00:01:42] And I tried to block it out

[00:01:45] Then from somewhere deep inside me

[00:01:50] Came a deathly chill

[00:01:54] Saints preserve us

[00:01:56] Wherever we might fall

[00:02:01] This is all too big a mystery

[00:02:07] I remember I was standing in the corner of the room

[00:02:14] Saying "Look at how she's leaving us

[00:02:18] So quietly so soon"

[00:02:24] And in her final hour

[00:02:27] I saw her reaching up her hands

[00:02:34] Like she was asking to be taken high above us

[00:02:41] Didn't she love us

[00:02:50] Saints preserve us

[00:02:53] We're all going down

[00:02:57] This ship is sinking in the sea

[00:03:04] Saints preserve us

[00:03:10] And carry us along

[00:03:11] For we may be together in eternity

[00:03:17] Saints preserve us

[00:03:22] Saints preserve us

[00:03:28] Wherever we may fall

[00:03:30] Saints preserve us

[00:03:36] Saints preserve us

[00:03:41] And carry us along
