(A. GOLD / G. PRESTOPINO)

all of us start out this journey alone
reaching for someone to love
searching for something we sometimes call home
hoping to heaven we'll have time enough
 
just a Soul Down the River
just a flame in the hollow
let me follow the water
let me sleep in your heart

we are here for a moment
then are vanished forever
just a Soul Down the River
just an ocean apart
 
I've read too many stories that bleed off the page
I need to hear a sweet lullaby
I know I've been crippled by sorrow and rage
I need your love to survive
 
just a Soul Down the River
just a flame in the hollow
let me follow the water
let me sleep in your heart

we are here for a moment
then are vanished forever
just a Soul Down the River
just an ocean apart
 
when you're lonely and weary at the end of the day
you need someone beside you
who can reach deep inside you
'cause when the flood waters rise and the land falls away
you'll need someone to cling to
someone to cling to

the only way your luck will change
make the heartache end
close your eyes and pray for rain
and try for love again
and if the cure don't kill ya
and if the light don't leave you blind
and if the spirit's in ya
and if you just don't lose your mind
 
oh maybe we'll be sailing
far from a troubled shore
borne on the wind
beginners again
and not afraid of love anymore
 
every time we start again
after ev'ry fall
we might find an empty hand
or we might find it all
and if the fall don't scare ya
and if your pride don't break your heart
and when the dream is over
if you still remember who you are
 
oh maybe we'll be sailing
far from a troubled shore
borne on the wind
beginners again
and not afraid of love anymore

she said
I hate thinkin' about dyin'
I can't stand thinkin' about death
we're livin' in a rush
then our body turns to mush
there's nothin' left

when am I gonna feel like I'm livin'?
when am I gonna know about love?
for an hour of that high
I'd give you anything yeah I'd
deliver you the moon and all the stars above

I want someone to comfort me
jump for me
in the here and now
I see everyone
having fun
just tell me how

Let Love Save Me
just like in the books
you say the grass is always greener
I bet it's greener than it looks

Let Love Save Me
just like on TV
put your arms around me
Let Love Save Me

put your arms around me
Let Love Save Me

She said
I'm tired of living without passion
I'm sick of baking on this rock
I need a little sin
it's time to take a giant spin
around this block
I'm tired of staring at this clock baby

fans are looking for their idols
while gods are waiting in the wings
it's just a universal rut
you can't ever know just what
the future brings
 
but if war brings out the best in us
and love brings out the beast
someone heavy must be testin' us
... at least I'm gonna

Let Love Save Me
just like in the books
you say the grass is always greener
I bet it's greener than it looks

Let Love Save Me
just like on TV
put your arms around me
Let Love Save Me

put your arms around me
Let Love Save Me

every time I see you
I want you
(I want you baby)
love is all around me
I forget where I am
(I need you baby)
oh let me be your slave
I'll do anything
anything
to get into your heart
