Over the Rhine - Who Will Guard The Door lyrics

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 Who will guard the door When I am sleeping Who will guard the door When I am sleeping I'm not sleeping 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 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 Who will guard the door When I am sleeping Who will guard the door When I am sleeping I'm not sleeping
