In the empty room
she sits and waits for him to come
two swollen ankles count the time
Nervous fingers trace
across the cold linoleum
the yellow walls receives her sigh
"Oh, can you hear me, Joe?"
she cries into the hallow ache
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 bare
Will someone knows in those 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
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
