Indigo Girls - She's Saving Me lyrics

We were sitting round a dying fire, somebody lit incense somebody lit a cigarette and passed the bottle around

It was just strawberry season, backbreaking pickers in the patches everything's 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 night's 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

There's 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

It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's 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

But colors up my dream 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 really think she knows it

It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels

She's saving me I'm a very lost soul

I was born with a hole in my heart as wide as my land locked travels
