[Verse 1]
A train is leaving from its station line tonight
It carries passengers all searching for their light
In the springtime, they were travellers
In summer, they found sun
By autumn, they had lost their way
Now winter brings them home
But as for me I have no need
To search for answers I already know
[Chorus]
I was saved
By the love that you gave
[Verse 2]
I fall asleep and have a dream I'm born again
A soldier for the king, a faceless regiment
In the battle for an empire I
Am ravaged by the land
The blood and sweat of men who met
Their end at my own hand
But when I wake my mind is clear
I know exactly how I made it through
[Chorus]
I was saved
By the love that you gave
In that sweet old fashioned way
Day by day
[Bridge]
Your kindness, like a church, is showing me the truth
Day by day
And in my hour of need I shelter neath its roof
Day by day
No man is without doubt but now I have the proof
I was saved
[Verse 3]
This carriage carries me through distances of fog
The wind is howling at my window like a dog
But there’s beauty in the frozen lake
And magic in the air
The poetry in where I'm from
For soon I will be there
And I will gather every rose
Preserved in snow and bring them home to you
[Chorus]
For I was saved
By the love that you gave
In that sweet old fashioned way
Day by day
