Save Me II
Sung Beautifully by Missy :-))
SAVE ME
I've got the fear
It's even dark in the day time
And the voices that I hear
Tell me it's useless just to fight on
With every shed of tears
The strangle hold it tightens
And I've got the need
I'm alone in a crowded place
No thought how deep
Brings me to a state of grace
I need to feel
The desire to touch written on my face
Chorus:
Save me, oh save me
Catch me when I'm falling
Catch me when I'm falling
Save me, oh save me
Can't you hear me calling
Can't you hear me calling
You--r name
I've got the pain
It's of my own creation
And I looked in vain
For my own salvation
And this is the rain
I sweat in desperation
And I've got the rage
My anger knows no bounds
On every page
My hatred can be found
I should be caged
Or let loose with the hounds
Chorus:
Save me, oh save me
Catch me when I'm falling
Catch me when I'm falling
Save me, oh save me
Can't you hear me calling
Can't you hear me calling
You--r name
Woah, woah, woah
Calling you--r name
SAVE ME
I've got the fear
It's even dark in the day time
And the voices that I hear
Tell me it's useless just to fight on
With every shed of tears
The strangle hold it tightens
And I've got the need
I'm alone in a crowded place
No thought how deep
Brings me to a state of grace
I need to feel
The desire to touch written on my face
Chorus:
Save me, oh save me
Catch me when I'm falling
Catch me when I'm falling
Save me, oh save me
Can't you hear me calling
Can't you hear me calling
You--r name
I've got the pain
It's of my own creation
And I looked in vain
For my own salvation
And this is the rain
I sweat in desperation
And I've got the rage
My anger knows no bounds
On every page
My hatred can be found
I should be caged
Or let loose with the hounds
Chorus:
Save me, oh save me
Catch me when I'm falling
Catch me when I'm falling
Save me, oh save me
Can't you hear me calling
Can't you hear me calling
You--r name
Woah, woah, woah
Calling you--r name

Absolutely wonderful!
Both the lyrics and the performance.
You each need to take a bow for the applause I hear.

I can’t even express the honour of being able to sing this, purely because it’s so personal to you. Thank you for trusting me with it.

David, they say music renews the Spirit unlike anything else can, and to hear your own words in melody undoubtedly uplifted you.
I am so happy about that. You've been in our thoughts and prayers, my Friend. Keep it up. 🎵📝

thank you - hearing this song again, haven't hears for three years or so and Missy did a brilliant job with it. It did lift my spirits hugely, but the song makes me cry every time I hear it for personal reasons :-(
I am glad you enjoyed it though :-))))))))

Oh, I wish I could help you, but the best I could do is hum ... and probably crack a few mirrors in the process. Only person I know 'round here that is musicianly inclined is Danny. Perhaps he might know a guy who knows a guy who knows a ......
