Indio - Save For The Memory Lyrics

From the Album: Big Harvest (1989)





Save For The Memory

Words & Music by Gordon Peterson

For those desperate times on the wire

I sing a melody

In these ageless ways of the world

I can sing a better day

With my hopes high in heaven

and my soul lost here on the ground

There is nothing I can't hide

Save for the memory

To these thankless years on the line

I sing a mystery

Through these ruins I'll find my way

I sing it back to me

With the might of conviction

and the sense of what's left to be found

There is nothing I can't hide

Save for the memory

There is nowhere I can run

Save for the memory

I hold the hope for the day yet

to come in my hand

However the weather the pieces

will lie where they land

But still I dream of the place

where the ghosts that turned

on me now call

There is nothing I can't hide 

There is nowhere I can run

There is nothing I can't hide

Save for the memory

With the ashes dark on my feet

I sing a memorySave for the memory
