Tanya Donelly - The Night You Saved My Life lyrics

(T. Donelly / D. Fisher)

In the beginning my love was fierce

One heart stopped and another started

I flashed my eyes, cracked wise and left them dry

Now I sit with my babe at my breast

I was never this good at my best

Never higher

The moon was paper white the night you saved my life

When my spirit guide left me behind

The wood was closing in, foggy was the night

The night you saved my life

When my spirit guide left me behind

I spy with my third eye

Something volatile and vital

So say goodnight, sleep tight, don't let them bite

Now I stand with the wind at my back

Every day brings a new breed of jackass

I was never good at monkey-in-the-middle

Never a fighter

The moon was paper white the night you saved my life

When my spirit guide left me behind

The wood was closing in, foggy was the night

The night you saved my life

When my spirit guide left me behind

The moon was paper white the night you saved my life

When my spirit guide left me behind
