Saints Preserve Us |
| I could hear the shutters banging |
| In my mother’s house |
| And the wind just kept blowing off the lake |
| I ran down to the front door |
| And told the ambulance man |
| Everything’s all right here Sir |
| There must be some mistake |
| Saints preserve us We’re all going down |
| This ship is sinking in the sea |
| Saints preserve us And carry us along |
| For we may be together in eternity |
| My father was staring off into another world |
| And my mother she was laying very still |
| The baby was crying |
| And I tried to block it out |
| Then from somewhere deep inside me Came a deathly chill |
| Saints preserve us Wherever we might fall |
| This is all too big a mystery |
| I remember I was standing in the corner of the room |
| Saying Look at how she’s leaving us So quietly so soon |
| And in her final hour |
| I saw her reaching up her hands |
| Like she was asking to be taken high above us Didn’t she love us? |
| ENDING CHORUS |
| Saints preserve us Saints preserve us Wherever we may fall |
| Saints preserve us Saints preserve us And carry us along |
