In an empty room
she sits and waits for him to come.
Two swollen ankles count the time.
Nervous fingers trace
across the cold linoleum
Yellow walls receive her sigh.
"Oh, can you hear me, Joe?"
She cries into the hollow air.
Her lips are trembling now.
Can't hear the voice she needs to hear, she says

Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you.
Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through.

The burning sky is just too much, too much to bear.
The sun went down in his eyes.
For forty years this house has held the fire of love they shared.
But now the garden slowly dies.
He said he'd never leave her all alone to face the day.
What kind of God is this,
that'll take him back and make her stay

Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you.
Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through.

The kids try to come around,
Try to make some time, to see me.
I know, the busy lives they lead
keep them from these memories.

Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you.
Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through.

Save me, save me.
Why don't you save me from the pain of losing you.
Take me up and I'll be by your side.
I want to leave this world behind. Behind.
You can't leave, I want to come.
Be right back by your side.
You can't leave, I want to come.
