Janis Ian - Save Somebody lyrics

rate me

In the heart of the city

Is the beat of a soul?

And it stares out the window

As the cars come and go

And it hungers for heroes

And it dreams of open skies

And there?s no expectation

That the sun will rise

You better save somebody

Save somebody

Before the moment slips away

You better save somebody

Who?ll be lonely?

When you walk away

There?s a crack in the heavens

And a tear in the sky

It cuts through the shadows

Living in her eyes

And the gates of the city

Are closed until dawn

When the ghosts of midnight

Have come and gone

And the hearts of the weary carry on

You better save somebody

Save somebody

Before the moment slips away

You better save somebody

Who?ll be lonely?

When you walk away

And I?m thinking of your silence

How the memory lingers on

And I wonder do you miss me

Now that I am gone, now that I am gone

You better save somebody

Save somebody

Before the moment slips away

You better save somebody

Who?ll be lonely?

When you walk away
