Save a Prayer
Duran Duran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't save a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now


Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance like all dreamers can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after

Line by Line Meaning

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
You observed me standing on the street corner leaning against a wall.


And the lights are flashing on your window sill
The lights on your windowsill are flickering.


All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
Being alone is not entertaining, and that's why you're seeking excitement.


And you know just what it takes and where to go
You are aware of how to obtain what you need and where to look.


Don't save a prayer for me now
I don't require your prayers at this moment.


Save it til the morning after
Hold onto your prayers until tomorrow morning.


Feel the breeze deep on the inside look you down into the well
Sense the wind blowing through your core and glance into your soul.


If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
If you are capable, you'll perceive the world in all its passion.


Take a chance like all dreamers can't find another way
Be daring like every dreamer who can't locate an alternative path.


You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
You don't have to fantasize about everything, just experience one day.


Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
A beautiful path that I'm struggling to retain while feeling overwhelmed with emotions.


Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise melt the ice
Don't inquire why I'm committed to fulfilling my promise to dissolve the emotional blockage.


And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
You expressed your desire to dance, and I invited you to do so.


But fear is in your soul
Your soul is ridden with fear.


Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise
Many describe it as casual sexual encounter, but we prefer to refer to it as a slice of heaven.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Postpone your prayers until the next day.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Put off your prayers until after tomorrow's sunrise.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Delay your prayers until the day after.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Hold onto your prayers until the dawn of the following day.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Retain your prayers until the morning after the current day.


Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Don't offer your prayers now but keep them until the day after.

🙏Save a prayer🙏
You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street,
And the lights are flashing on your window sill.
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill,
And you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well,
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire,
Take a chance,
Like all dreamers can't find another way,
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after

Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Pretty looking road
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after...
