Somebody lit incense, somebody lit a cigarette
I was born with a hole in my heart
It was just strawberry season
The heatwave kills the green and she remains unseen
She's saving me, I'm a very lost soul
As last night's dream unravels
As last night's dream unravels
I was born with a hole in my heart
It's a strange way to show it as distant
Heads up pennies in my pocket
Every thing's burning down to ashes and down to the ground
It's a strange way to show it as distant
She's saving me, I don't even think she knows it
As last night's dream unravels
It feels like inside out, the ashes stir
As wide as my land locked travels
There's a big brown hawk in the tree
Lighting and leaving
Then days so still the beauty gives you pain
It's not an angry God, it feels like her
She's saving me, I'm a very lost soul

And this tea leaves tossing
She's saving me, I don't really think she knows it
The size of my land locked travels
We were sitting round a dying fire
And passed the bottle around
The sky pours out biblical rain
She's saving me, I don't even think she knows it
I was born with a hole in my heart
It feels like no fear, it feels like no doubt
Backbreakin' pickers in the patches
She's saving me, I'm a very lost soul
But colors up my dream with all things blooming
Songwriter: Emily Ann Saliers
Dead star like a rocket, the arc of my grieving
I try to put it aside but it's too much bigger than me
The size of my land locked travels
It's a strange way to show it as distant
This is not all there is, it's not a kingdom
