Lisa Brokop - That Summer Lyrics
(Liz HengberBob Regan)She can hear his car as it pulls in the driveShe can whisper a prayer thank God he's aliveShe can meet him at the door, catch him when he fallsShe can even believe that it isn't his faultBut she can't save himShe can make his coffee in the cold light of dayShe can make his excuses, tell the boss he'll be lateShe can wave at the neighbors then kiss him goodbyeAnd not say a word about what happened last nightBut she can't save himSometimes she dreams that he's caught in a streamAnd the water keeps pulling him downShe reaches for him as he pulls her inShe wakes just before she drownsShe can remember the man that he wasAnd still shed a tear for what he's becomeShe can live in that house until the dayShe sees that it's only herself she can save'Cause she can't save himAnd that day she'll know she hasn't failed'Cause nothing can change until he saves himselfNo she can't save him
