Cass McCombs - You Saved My Life lyrics

In this spare room
We better see what we have and whom
An IOU for the Same Thing
Only angels have wings, so they say

Here I stand, alive unto you

My fate’s mercy seat
Sought blood to gulp and flesh to eat
And I can’t blame you enough
But, I’m indebted to your mercy and your love

Here I stand, alive unto alive unto you
Because you saved my life
Now I see there’s so much to lose
So much to lose because you saved my life

Darling, now I must live for you
One reprieve grants another
Until each world is born anew

Never understand, never can ignore
I’m rotten to the core, since 1994
