LOU REED - Guardian angel lyrics

rate me

I have a guardian angel

keep him in my head

When I'm afraid and alone

I call him to my bed

I have a guardian angel

who keeps bad things from me

The only way to ruin it would be for me

not to trust me

The only way to ruin it would be for me

not to trust me

I have a guardian angel

who's often saved my life

Through malevolent storms and crystal drums

the angel on my right

Has lifted me up and set me down

always showing me what's right

And if my instinct proved me wrong

the angel set it right

And if my instinct proved me wrong

the angel set it right

Have a guardian angel

I keep him in my head

And when I'm having nightmares

he shows me dreams instead

I have a ring, I have a dress

I have an empty shell

By the books below tea cups

I've kept a kind of hell

By the books below tea cups

I've kept a kind of hell

Panic and anxiety

so often in my head

But I had a guardian angel

who took care of me instead

The champagne cork the nightlight owl

a raven and a duck

The seed of pining parents

and your despairing love

The seed of pining parents

and your despairing love

Love and luck both have charmed lives

can change all things about

I had a guardian angel

that's what this is all about

I have a guardian angel

I keep him in my head

When I'm alone and become afraid

he saved my life instead

When I'm alone and become afraid

he saved my life instead

Guardian angel

guardian angel

Guardian angel

guardian angel

Guardian angel
