Lyrics
Who Will Guard The Door
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were the hand that I tried to take
You're the decision that I could not make
You're the religion that I should forsake
You were the story I tried to tell
You were the savior that tripped and fell
Beautiful dancing infidel
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
Who will guard the door
When I am sleeping
I'm not sleeping
You were the season that would
not change
I often was the same
Then four horseman came and stole
my name
I never saw you fall apart
I never saw you work so hard
Never saw you need no one
I am my father's son
