Save What You Can -

Well it doesn’t look much like we’ll see the new year

Cos all the bright young faces are here

And I can’t see us rising to their occasion any more

No, not their Christmas cheer

Time is against us, even love conspires to disgrace us

And with things being what they are …

Yes and things being what they are

Oh my friend, we used to walk in the flames

Now somebody’s taken my arms

The shadows are taller.

you’re missing your halo

With your face in the half-light you Iook like a stranger

You made me catch my breath just then

You made me catch my breath

Is that you:… is that still you?

If you cannot run, then crawl

If you can leave, then leave it all

If you don’t get caught, then steal it all

If you don’t get caught.

then steal it all

Steal it all

The final time we touch

I watch as you enter the church

You turn and you wave, then you kneel and you pray

And you save of yourself what you can save

If you cannot run, then crawl

If you can leave, then leave it all

If you don’t get caught.

then steal it all

If you don’t get caught.

then steal it all

Steal it all

And between ourselves, and the end at hand

Save what you can
