Rescue Me

Lyrics by Lauren Speeth inspired by the hope of rescue and dedicated to Lois Lee (childrenofthenight.org) ~ Music by Lauren Speeth and Josh Workman. Featuring Lauren Speeth on vocals.

My friends all love me, but they go their own way when the day is through, so I work to exhaustion, to forget whether I may be feeling anything.

My brave face in a jar, my thoughts chase ‘round in circles after you. Though I pass through raging rivers I call out to you, can you hear me sing?

Rescue me! Send me more than a postcard, send yourself to me. Turn my thoughts from the past and let me be happy. Rescue me, rescue me, rescue me. ‘Cause I know through the sorrow love can rescue tomorrow. So rescue me, rescue me, rescue me!

I dread the blue sky; she’s so heavy when there’s not a cloud in sight. Oppressive, open, vast, wide emptiness, just aching for
a friend.

I need a cloud to put things right, to shelter me until the coming night. One cloud breathes out the other breathes him in, she’s beautiful again.

Rescue me ...

I sit in silent solitude, the solace that I seek still eludes. One word from you could melt the wax around my heart, just like the sun.

And if I wander down that dark and dangerous road, will you call me back, will you? And if I fall through a glass darkly, will you come find me and call me your ‘forever one?’

Rescue me ...
