Salvation
St. Christopher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day
It seems I catch you out again
Catch you out again
So easily

It's a cross I have to bear
A mistake I have to share if it kills me
Kills me
Sixty years too soon

Every day
It seems we're pulled apart again
Torn apart again
Too easily

It's a risk that I have to take
An affair that I have to break if it kills me
Kills me
Fifty years too soon

You've let your hair down once too often
You know that I would often pray




And talk to me of jealousy
'Cause that's not all it can be
