Who Will Guard The Door Lyrics - 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 

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
