I was a traveler travelin' alone   Crossin' that desert they call the 'Unknown''   Lost in a valley of shadows and sinking sand      Hopeless was circling over my head   Patiently waiting for my last step   I was a desperate woman in no man's land      Like an angel of mercy, emotional savior   You took me in your arms and out of danger      You rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind   I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl   Facing a future with no one at all and just before I found out   How life without love could be, you rescued me      The mind can play tricks when you're wanderin' out there   Making up visions out of thin air   That's why I thought I was dreamin' when you appeared      But your touch had feeling, your kisses were real   Your voice echoed like a song on a hill   Somehow you knew what my heart needed to hear      Like an angel of mercy, emotional savior   You took me in your arms and out of danger      You rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind   I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl   Facing a future with no one at all and just before I found out   How life without love could be, you rescued me, oh      Oh, you rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind   I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl   Facing a future with no one at all and just before I found out   How life without love could be, yeah, yeah      You rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind   I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl   Facing a future with no one at all      And you rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind   I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl   Facing a future with no one at all      And you rescued me in the nick of time   I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
