Guardian

Look, the muddy water's rising While the cars out front corrode There's no light coming through the window Just this blue pilot light's glow You and me were always drifters Looks like we're still drifting now This silence echoes down the hallway Careens, then vanishes somehow Lay down, little darling Your head is under my wing Lay down, I'll be your guardian Way down, little angel I feel you under my skin Way down, I'll be your guardian Still, the muddy water's rising Can you hear the helicopter fan? Pass up the kitty to the rooftop Leave behind the wedding band Lay down, little darling Your head is under my wing Lay down, I'll be your guardian Way down, little angel I feel you under my skin Way down, I'll be your guardian I'll be your guardian I let you down; I know it I wanted you to fail I never had to go without I'll be your guardian I'll let you down; let's try it I promise not to fail I never had to go without When the muddy water goes down What will the dry ground reveal? Just that you're better off without me Just like we've always feared Lay down, little darling Your head is under my wing Lay down, I'll be your guardian Way down, little angel I feel you under my skin Way down, I'm still your guardian
