  • When morning breaks
    We hide our eyes and our love's aching
    Nothing's strange

    It was in our hands from 6 to 10
    It slipped right out again

    There'll be no better time
    There'll be no better way
    There'll be no better day to save me
    Save me
    Yeah, save me

    I hope you see like I see
    I hope you see what I see
    I hope you feel like I feel

    And the world don't stop
    There is no time for cracking up
    Believe me friend
    'Cause when freedom comes
    I'll be long gone
    You know it has to end

    There'll be no better time
    There'll be no better way
    There'll be no better day to save me
    Save me
    Yeah, save me
    Yeah, save me
    I hope you see what I see
    I hope you feel like I feel
    Someone to stand beside me
    Beside me
    Beside me
    Beside me
    Beside me

    Weeping willow
    The pills under my pillow
    Weeping willow
    Pills under my pillow
    Weeping willow
    The Gun under your pillow
    Weeping willow
    Beside me
    Beside me
    Beside me
    Beside me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Bodhi from Rio, BrazilObviously, McCabe guitar as well. But this is true to all of The Verve songs.
  • Bodhi from Rio, BrazilThe lyrics are great but the magic of this song IMO is Ashcroft vocal abilities.
  • Dionicio from Saltillo, MexicoYeah, I'm a weeping willow too. I was also "born a little damaged man". ;)
