Saints and Fools Lyrics by Donald Reid

In a Taxi Home

2006

[Verse 1]
A place that I come from falls outside our world
And I can't make myself clench the Bible
Like I been too long in the sun
Still smoking cigarettes, drinking cider
You listen to Elvis and you jump around
Playing air guitar
[Chorus]
And only saints and fools can save us now
'Cause we've come too far to turn around
It's time to take our bow
And it's time to say goodbye
It's time for me to hold you
Let you die
[Refrain]
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
You call it introspect, I'd call it lonely
The pills you take won't change the way you feel
Some things crawl through your veins
You say we're landed; I think we're shot down
When the horsе is dead, the ride is ovеr now
Walk into the sun
[Chorus]
And only saints and fools can save us now
'Cause we've come too far to turn around
It's time to take our bow
And it's time to say goodbye
It's time for me to hold you
Let you die
{Refrain]
(Ooh, ooh)
[Bridge]
There'll be no more rain
There'll be no more clouds and no more suffering
And you won't have to hold your hands to your head again
[Refrain]
(Ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
On the last day with you, I never felt so alone
And on the last day with you, I never felt so alone
And on the last day with you, I never felt so alone
And on the last day with you, I never felt so alone
(Ooh, ooh)
On the last day with you, I never felt so alone
