Rescue

He can't rescue you Can't pull the demons from your head Can't lull you from your sleepy bed He can't rescue you He can't protect you From the powers that will be The hours of insanity He can't protect you He can't change you Change the summers of your beauty The thunderstorms within your purity He can't change you He can't carry you Past the door of every danger Every foe and every stranger He can't carry you He can't save you From the plain and simple truth The waning winters of your youth He can't save you He can't fix you Your tears will always leave their mark From fears that stay inside the dark He can't fix you What can he do But tie some ribbons in your hair And show you that he'll always care That's all he can do Lala lala --- Rescue - Lucinda Williams
