Graham Parker - Somebody Saved Me lyrics

I heard the wild dogs scream in the midnight Just like a knife in my heart I felt so empty like someone fixed me Only to take me apart The mighty ocean dried up before me The trees went bare before my eyes The wicked daylight the curse of hindsight The final blow in disguise Then somebody saved me Somebody saved me Brought me right back to this earth The love that you gave me renewed and remade me I can't calculate what it's worth It used to hurt me to sit in the twilight Without a friend in which to confide It used to hurt me my strength would desert me I'd take a long downward slide The mask of silence once hung upon me The blood red wounds in my heart I could not climb out into the sunshine I'd just remain in the dark Then somebody saved me Somebody saved me Brought me right back to this earth The love that you gave me renewed and remade me I can't calculate what it's worth I did not need mercy i did not need pity I did not need faith or belief I did not need god or some other illusion I was not dead and i was not weak I just need someone someone to save me And bring me right back down to this earth The love that you gave me renewed and remade me I can't calculate what it's worth Then somebody saved me Somebody saved me Brought me right back to this earth The love that you gave me renewed and remade me I can't calculate what it's worth
