Ellis Paul I`m The One To Save Lyrics

I`m The One To Save Lyrics

He`s in an emotional prison
the self-inflicted kind
You`re like a nun on a mission
to help that boy unwind
I said, "Nobody`s ever escaped Alcatraz
It`s too cold in San Francisco Bay"
You just turned and watched the buildings pass by
and said, "I wouldn`t have him any other way"

I can`t believe you didn`t save me
when the angels came to watch me drown
And though the pirates behaved quite bravely
they took the treasure when I went down
(chorus>
Hey, Hey
I`m drowning
Hey, Hey
Wave by wave
Hey, Hey
Heart pounding
Hey, Hey
I`m the one to save
I am the one to save
The wind turned cold on the ferry
We were in the shadow of the Golden Gate
I said "There`s a movie at the Castro you might like"
You said, "I think it`s getting kind of late"
Now six months later you`ll come and tell me over coffee
that you`ve turned to someone else`s hand
So you`re onto another is it the martyr or the mother
that`s attracted to a straight jacket man
I couldn`t believe you didn`t save me
when the angels came to watch me drown
And though the pirates behaved quite bravely
they stole the treasure when I went down
(chorus)
And if I told you
What would it change
What would it change
What would it change
