90 Days Sober (Rescue Me)
I'm sitting at a station waiting on a southbound train
A gray sky awning and a weeklong rain
When I put you in the cab you didn't weigh a buck thirty-four
Today you're coming home ninety days sober
Rescue me
You didn't say the words
I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness
Far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try
A smile on her face the clerk says the train is running late
There's a fresh pot of coffee and a day-old paper while you wait
I've waited ninety days what's a few hours more?
Today you're coming home ninety days sober
Rescue me
You didn't say the words I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try Rescue me
You didn't say the words
I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness
Far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try
I'm sitting at a station waiting on a southbound train
There's a break in the clouds and the sun ends a weeklong rain
I'm not superstitious but that's a pretty good omen
You're coming home strong and 90 days sober
Rescue me
You didn't say the words I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try Rescue me
You didn't say the words
I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness
Far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try
Rescue me
You didn't say the words I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try
Rescue me
You didn't say the words
I saw them in your eyes
A desperate plea
There in the darkness
Far from the light
Rescue me
I couldn't live with myself
If I didn't try
I could not live with myself
If I didn't try
You fell of that wagon
Had to start over
You're coming home strong
It's been ninety days
Sober sober
Great songwriting Eric...being stripped down lets your vocals and lyrics take the spotlight they deserve. Your emotional vocal delivery is at center stage...nicely done!
