Savior of Time by Richmond Fontaine Lyrics
I put concrete blocks in my truck
Because it had been snowing for days
She had called me from a hospital
Barely understandable
So I picked her up at St. Mary's
She has lost weight and was pale, and could hardly say anything
We drove around for awhile
Her bandaged hands
"We're too far North," she said, "too far North"
It's a long slow build to become completely out of focus
But it's Jackson and Pillars, and knowing you'll be released by the
Savior of time
We drove around for a while
Then we picked up your things at a motel and at your sister's house
And once again you moved back in with me
And the wind boiled over, and the snow fell
And the bottles fell to the ground and broke
It's a long slow build to become completely out of focus
You don't have to explain it, because I can see it
But it's Jackson and Pillars, and knowing you'll be saved by the Savior of Time
Because it had been snowing for days
She had called me from a hospital
Barely understandable
So I picked her up at St. Mary's
She has lost weight and was pale, and could hardly say anything
We drove around for awhile
Her bandaged hands
"We're too far North," she said, "too far North"
It's a long slow build to become completely out of focus
But it's Jackson and Pillars, and knowing you'll be released by the
Savior of time
We drove around for a while
Then we picked up your things at a motel and at your sister's house
And once again you moved back in with me
And the wind boiled over, and the snow fell
And the bottles fell to the ground and broke
It's a long slow build to become completely out of focus
You don't have to explain it, because I can see it
But it's Jackson and Pillars, and knowing you'll be saved by the Savior of Time
