Generate meaning
1
I could hear the shutters banging
2
In my mother's house
3
And the wind just kept blowing off the lake
4
I ran down to the front door
5
And told the ambulance man
6
"Everything's all right here Sir
7
There must be some mistake"
8
CHORUS 1
9
Saints preserve us
10
We're all going down
11
This ship is sinking in the sea
12
Saints preserve us
13
And carry us along
14
For we may be together in eternity
15
My father was staring off into another world
16
And my mother she was laying very still
17
The baby was crying
18
And I tried to block it out
19
Then from somewhere deep inside me
20
Came a deathly chill
21
CHORUS 2
22
Saints preserve us
23
Wherever we might fall
24
This is all too big a mystery
25
I remember I was standing in the corner of the room
26
Saying "Look at how she's leaving us
27
So quietly so soon"
28
And in her final hour
29
I saw her reaching up her hands
30
Like she was asking to be taken high above us
31
Didn't she love us?
32
CHORUS 1
33
ENDING CHORUS
34
Saints preserve us
35
Saints preserve us
36
Wherever we may fall
37
Saints preserve us
38
Saints preserve us
39
And carry us along
