Save Me for the Moon
Emerald Mind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was about five
Shining smile never left her face away
Lonely, but full of life
Talking to her trees and rivers day by day

But her winds had changed
Little girl was trapped in the cage of stone
Move her gift away
With the last teardrop childhood has gone

Save me, save me, if you love me
For I lost my feelings, buried here alive
Hold me, hold me for a moment
Like a leaf I'm falling into ignorance

And save me for the Moon, save me for the trees
For the only truth! Knowledge in me never finds the way, if I die
Secrets of the past, I'll give it all to you
Stories of this world, just save me for the Moon

Many years passed by
Seems It was a dream and never had been before
She can't remember why
Every night she goes to the seashore

She suddenly stands still
As if she's hearing whisper of a lonely owl
She jumps off her bed
Echoes of the nature calling for her soul

Save me, save me if you love me
For I lost my feelings, buried here alive
Hold me, hold me for a moment
Child in me still calling! Back to innocence!

And save me for the Moon, save me for the trees
For the only truth! Knowledge in me never finds the way if I die




Secrets of the past, I'll give it all to you
Stories of this world, just save me for the Moon
