*SAVE ME *
(A Re-posting, live version sung by my daughter in 2012 - keeping the record straight)
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
I now prefer Missy's version

No thought how deep
Brings me to a state of grace

Catch me when I'm falling

David, I have now heard both versions, and the choice would be hard for me to make.
Your daughter has a beautiful voice, as does Missy.
Takes a lot of courage to stand up in front of a crowd.
The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Why are these people chattin' away in the background when someone is up front singing so beautifully? (personal bug-bear).
Great video :)))
