Janis Ian - Save Somebody Lyrics

In the heart of the city is the beat of a soul
And it stares out the window as the cars come and go
And it hungers for heroes, and it dreams of open skies
And there's no expectation that the sun will rise

You better save somebody
Save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody
Who'll be lonely
When you walk away

There's a crack in the heavens, and a tear in the sky
It cuts through the shadows living in her eyes
And the gates of the city are closed until dawn
When the ghosts of midnight have come and gone
And the hearts of the weary carry on

You better save somebody
Save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody
Who'll be lonely
When you walk away

And I'm thinking of your silence
How the memory lingers on
And I wonder do you miss me
Now that I am gone
Now that I am gone

You better save somebody
Save somebody
Before the moment slips away
You better save somebody
Who'll be lonely
When you walk away
