EVEN GUARDIAN ANGELS LEAVE

another lonely day
turns the key outside the door
he mustn’t let go
he’s left it there before

so many stairs to climb
worn-out crutches on his soul
imaginary gallows
and it hurts just to crawl

(chorus)
and that’s when he knows
what he had was the best
even guardian angels leave
even guardian angels leave
even guardian angels leave
....a forwarding address

he knew he’d end-up there
his only shadow tied and bound
as the raging storm begins
inside a snow-globe
in God’s hand

and how was he to know
that in treasured dreams set before her
he hadn’t signed a masterpiece
only painted himself into a corner

(chorus)
and the walls close in
and he knows the rest
even guardian angels leave
even guardian angels leave
even guardian angels leave
....a forwarding address
