Last Saturday
                
I stood in your entry way
                 
A place where we used to wait
            
For cars to carry us away
                  
Like once in this storm
                   
They drove me and Justin home
                   
The music was just being born
           
It was all I was longing for
             
Now I'm on a plane
              
Of singing my songs again
                       
Oh, please don't think ill of it
         
It's the reason I exist
                    
But you, you're the crutch of a cripple
You're the calm of a conscience
           
You're the peace that I have found
               
When all these voices talk too loud
              
Well, you are quietly reassuring me
         
With the hands of a healer
And the tongue of a teacher
          
It's your voice that I have known
          
To be the first one on the phone
                                          
Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital

           
  So don't you say to me
/             
  That life's a trap
                            
The future is nothing but a tragedy
                            
Because I'll be out of that window
                            
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again
                           
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid
    
And show me to the door
                
And I'll walk behind
             
Out into the hot sunlight
                       
Where the world's very much alive
                     
Even when I close my eyes


               
Well, should I admit
                   
That my promise is counterfeit
                       
That I'm careless and childish
               
And that's all I can hope to be
                 
And would you concede
                  
That I think only of myself
              
I refuse everybody's help
              
Who has been reaching out for me?
                         
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor
And the swing of a miner
         
You have cleared the rock away
        
Leaving gold there in it's place
          
And it is more than anyone could claim
             
Oh, with the sense of a banker
And with the touch of a tailor
    
You saved this life for me
             
And you have sown it to beauty
                                          
And I am grateful now and I will always be

             
  So would you sing with me
/
  The song is all I know
                                   
Some truths are told now only in a melody
                       
So I've been writing a new one
                          
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it
              
It's gonna be so perfect
                
It's gonna hold all of us inside of it
         
You will see
                     
If you just add your harmony
                 
I think it would be complete
                     
And be worthy of singing
               
My clumsy symphony

                 
Yeah, you're the cool of the water
You're the start of the summer
        
Keep me still like a anchor
In a storm you're the cellar
         
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather
         
When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember
         
With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar
         
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter
         
You're a poet
And a saint
            
You are the only one I choose to imitate
             
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera
          
It's this picture I have seen
           
We're on a sloping hill of green
                                
And you are walking there beside me
