Save me From the prime of my life And I'll try To carry you home tonight Annie Over Kansas in heels Like a child Laughing at endless skies I will wait for you At the end love Let your past lives too Then you wake up Take me To Dorothy Chandler tonight And I'll find you Reflected a hundred times You can spend all your sugar you know me Sprawling out on a California king I will wait for you At the end love Let your past lives too Then you wake up Through the catacombs Into nothing And then ran it through To the beginning Save me From the prime of my life And I will wait for you At the end, love There your past lives too Then you wake up When the spirit comes Over water That'll come for you A little farther Through the catacombs Into nothing And it mattered through To the beginning
