Who Will Guard The Door

Over the Rhine · Drunkards Prayer [2005]

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



Ohh, who will guard the door



When I am sleeping?



Who will guard the door



When I am sleeping? I'm not sleeping



Ooh, ohh, yeah



You were the season that would not change



I often was the same



Then four horseman came and stole my name



Ohh, who will guard the door



When I am sleeping?



Who will guard the door



When I am sleeping? I'm not sleeping



Ooh, ohh, yeah



Ooh, ohh, I never saw you fall apart



Never saw you work so hard



I 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



Ah, ooh, who will guard the door



When I am sleeping?



Who will guard the door



When I am sleeping? I'm not sleeping



Ooh, ohh, yeah, ooh, ohh, yeah, ooh, ohh, yeah, ohh
