This song has almost moved me to tears. At first, I was only caught by the melody, then got intrigued by the repetitive lyrics "Save me, save me, why don't you save me from the pain of losing you." I thought it was another song about breaking up... but then I was wrong... mas malalim pa pala sa inaakala ko.
What if you finally had your happy ending but as the word suggests... it ends.
He made a promise he'll never leave her behind...
He was true to that promise...
Until he can no longer be...
This song is about an old couple. They were married and shared lives with one another for forty years... that is until the old lady's husband died.
The lyrics resonate with those who have lost a loved one. The words are simple, but very honest:
In the afternoon
she sits and waits for him to come
two swollen ankles count the time
Nervous fingers trace
across the cold linoleum
the kitchen wall receives her sigh
"Oh, can you hear me, Joe?"
she tries to call across the veil
Her lips are trembling now
can't hear his voice , can't feel him near
she says "Save me, save me
why don't you save me from the pain of losing you
Save me, save me
why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through"
The dinner table looks so strange without him sitting there
the bed is empty on his side
for forty years this house has held the fire of love they shared
but now the garden slowly dies
He said he'd never leave her alone to face the day
What kind of God is this that'll take him back
and make her stay
"Save me, save me
why don't you save me from the pain of losing you
save me, save me
why don't you save me from this hell I'm going through?
The kids try to come around,
try to make some time to see me,
I know, the busy lives they lead
keep them from these memories"
