Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Guardian Angels

Your guardian angels are looking down on you

As they fold your wings and collect your things

And lift you into the blue

Your guardian angels they can't just fly away

They're going to stay on Earth their job to do

The task is not too great

When the cup slips from your hand

And the world slips from your mind

You can fall into a dream

You don't have to know that they're here all the time

Your guardian angels are not a distant thing

They're not celestial spheres, Saints or seers

Or heavenly bells that ring

But they'll never let you down

We're all down here anyway

They might slip up now and again

But their love for you will never slip away

Your guardian angels look at them look at them cry

Cause they're flesh and blood

They're not free to drift into the sky

Your guardian angels

Your guardian angels

Your guardian angels
