Saints Preserve Us

<br>I could hear the shutters banging<br>In my mother`s house<br>And the wind just kept blowing off the lake<br>I ran down to the front door<br>And told the ambulance man<br>"Everything`s all right here Sir<br>There must be some mistake"<br><br>CHORUS 1<br>Saints preserve us<br>We`re all going down<br>This ship is sinking in the sea<br>Saints preserve us<br>And carry us along<br>For we may be together in eternity<br><br>My father was staring off into another world<br>And my mother she was laying very still<br>The baby was crying<br>And I tried to block it out<br>Then from somewhere deep inside me<br>Came a deathly chill<br><br>CHORUS 2<br>Saints preserve us<br>Wherever we might fall<br>This is all too big a mystery<br>I remember I was standing in the corner of the room<br>Saying "Look at how she`s leaving us<br>So quietly so soon"<br><br>And in her final hour<br>I saw her reaching up her hands<br>Like she was asking to be taken high above us<br>Didn`t she love us?<br><br>CHORUS 1<br><br>ENDING CHORUS<br>Saints preserve us<br>Saints preserve us<br>Wherever we may fall<br>Saints preserve us<br>Saints preserve us<br>And carry us along
