“Addictive hooks, stirring lyrics, and some truly incredible harmonies - this CD is the absolute pinnacle of acoustic folk rock. But it's more: the intricately woven words elevate each of these songs from heartfelt pop to musical poetry. You couldn't ask for twelve more perfect songs, or two more talented musicians to sing them.” --Mercury John, Memphis, TN

Story behind the song

This song came to me (David) early one morning after a great show we had played the night before at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle.  I came up with that first line, "Save and you'll be saved," and then the whole song just poured out.

Lyrics

“Save and you’ll be saved”
Those words you said to me, I have still not figured out
We’re both laughing and we’re poor
But only in money, so I guess money’s not what it’s about

When we’re walking, not driving or standing in a line
Is when everything seems real to me
And I’m awaiting the moment when all of these moments converge
On you, and on me, and then

I’ll have whatever I want from you
And we’ll have all we need
I’m spending every dollar and all my days
Proving that we can be saved

Ask someone else, man 
I dropped the last of mine on some candles that we never burned
I sat home in the darkness
Leaning on the front door and deciding what I had learned

There’s the way that were living, and there’s life that’s worth living
And the two are getting close for once
And you’ll see what I mean when we give it all away and then there’s you
And me, and time, and that’s all, and then

I’m sold on stripping everything away
That we’ve been saving away
And we’ll get nothing but old unless we’re moving
Don’t watch, and wait
Don’t watch, and wait

What’s in a future
Where all your memories are of waiting for a time that’s good?
So start the meter and let’s go
Get me to the spending, it’s the time left that we should
