THE MAN WHO DIED HERE SAVED ME

Day 3 (2020). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

​

The man who died here saved me

A thousand years ago

A brand new life he gave me

Out in the wind’s his ghost

​

The bridge above the river I’d take my final breath

That’s when I heard my giver, Son, you best watch your step

Sorry but you don’t know me I’ve got nothing left

He said you’re not the only lonely heart bereft  

I told you you don’t know, sir, just turn around and leave

So I took one step closer, that’s when he reached for me

​

The rocks beneath his soles fell to the river bed

His body swiftly followed

The wrong man was dead

​

These days I bring my sorrow

The replay in my head

I meant to kill tomorrow but killed the man instead

​

The man who died here saved me

A thousand years ago

A brand new life he gave me

Out in the wind’s his ghost

​

The man who died here saved me

A thousand years ago

A brand new life he gave me

Out in the wind’s his ghost

Out in the wind’s his ghost

Out in the wind’s his ghost

Out in the wind’s his ghost
