Janis Ian - Save Somebody lyrics

In the heart of the city is
The beat of a soul
And it stares out the window as
The cars come and go
And it hungers for heroes
And it dreams of open skies
And there's no expectation that
The sun will rise

You better save somebody save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody who'll be lonely
When you walk away

There's a crack in the heavens and
A tear in the sky
It cuts through the shadows
Living in her eyes and the gates of the city
Are closed until dawn
When the ghosts of midnight
Have come and gone
And the hearts of the weary carry on

You better save somebody save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody who'll be lonely
When you walk away

And I'm thinking of your silence
How the memory lingers on
And I wonder do you miss me
Now that I am gone now that I am gone

You better save somebody save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody who'll be lonely
When you walk away you better save somebody
Save somebody before the moment slips away
You better save somebody who'll be lonely
When you walk away when you walk away
When you walk away
