Who Will Guard the Door - Over the Rhine

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
