She's Saving Me

Words and music by Emily Saliers

We were sitting round a dying fire
Somebody lit incense
Somebody lit a cigarette
And passed a bottle around
It was just strawberry season
Backbreaking pickers in the patches
Everythings burning down to ashes
And down to the ground
She's saving me
I don't even think she knows it
It's a strange way to show it as distant as
Last nights dream unravels
She's saving me
I'm a very lost soul
I was born with a hole in my heart
The size of my land locked travels

I try to put it aside
But it's too much bigger than me
There's a big brown hawk in the tree
Lighting and leaving
And theres tea leaves tossing
Heads up pennies in my pocket
Dead star like a rocket
The arc of my grieving
She's saving me
I don't even think she knows it
Its a strange way to show it
As distant as last nights dream unravels
She's saving me
I'm a very lost soul
I was born with a hole in my heart
The size of my land locked travels

The sky pours out biblical rain
Then days so still the beauty gives you pain
The heatwave kills the green
And she remains unseen
The colors of my dreams
With all things blooming

This is not all there is
It's not a kingdom
It's not an angry god
It feels like her
It feels like no fear
It feels like no doubt
It feels like inside out
The ashes stir
She's saving me
I don't even think she knows it
Such a strange way to show it as distant as
Last nights dream unravels
She's saving me
I'm a very lost soul
I was born with a hole in my heart
