Lyrics

I've Been Sent to Save You

Words & Music by Ellis Glover

In the deepest dregs of your life
When you moan, girl, you got nothin but strife,
I draw my knife
of love
and rip your blues
to open the sky.

When those lockjaw days you decry
Clamp temples, darling, squeeze tears from your eyes,
I wrench that vise
of grief
and turn bad news
Counter-clockwise.

Dont you know it, baby,
Dont you know it, girl,
Ive been sent to save you
From the darkness of your world,
Of your world,
From the darkness of your world.

When black snow invades, dear,
And climbs right in your bed,
sooty thoughts peltin
in the ash box of your head,
I mount my sled
of hope
and glide dark woes
to dawnings ruby red.
(Chorus, etc.)
