LOVE SAVED MY LIFE

Haven't been up at sunrise in a while
Last time I was on a bus going south
To a job that I hated but I thought 
If I waited long enough I would learn to be tough and I'd
Also learn to smile
Haven't been up at sunrise in a while

Haven't prayed to my maker in a while
Last time I was crying my eyes out
For a woman who loved me by breaking my heart
When she left I was shattered but it let me start
All over again
But my luck held until I found a friend

Love saved my life
It came out of nowhere
Long after I didn't care to live
Love saved my life
So I clung to the one who brought it and made her my wife

Haven't let myself cry in a while
Last time I did things started to crash down around me
So I vowed to dam up the river forever
But the spring thaw is larger than man
And every few years it floods to bring life to the land

Love saved my life
It came out of nowhere
Long after I didn't care to live
Love saved my life
So I clung to the one who brought it and made her my wife
