Save Me Maryann

LETRA

Save Me Maryann

Something you looked for for so many years
What a surprise when it comes in a moment
And, crossing the mountains of tears
Stakes a new claim on the peak of the suffering
Led by a vision of faith
Something you saw in a dream
Writes a new page on the face of the fears
Over the face of screams
 
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh you can play me Maryann
Oh like a xylophone
Don’t leave me here all alone
 
In a new country, I pick up the phone
And through the wires I make a new contact now
And the clouds slip away
There’s a new day as the sky makes an opening
Despite the dying storm, I find it hard to feel warm
Takes more than her wordlings, more than her smiles
To carry across the miles
 
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh you can show me, Maryann
Oh show me where to roam
Every ambition strikes home
 
Back in the world, you can float in a daze
Like a balloon that a child let go too soon
So you look for a weight
Something to let out the air so you deflate
This is the highest of things
This is the purest of pure
How can I hold it when you’re not there
Emptiness at my door?
 
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh come and save me, Maryann
Oh I believe in Maryann 
Like she believes in me
Counting the days til we’re free
 
Oh, Maryann
