Guardian Angel

I have seen still waters
Turn to tidal waves
My brother was a soldier
His head's gone to his grave
I was there when Jilly's sister
Lost her innocence
My father traveled here
By saving every pound and pence

I dressed up every Sunday
Just to see a concrete Christ
And I've never witnessed perfect love
So here I am tonight

Oh listen up, guardian angel
Have you been angry with me
Or have I slipped your mind
Oh listen up, guardian angel
When you're giving out your love
Do you think that you could you see fit
To send me someone

I have taken trips to nowhere
Lost among the crowd
You'd think I'd have some wisdom now
For cryin' out loud
I've read the book of life
But now I think I've lost my place
Give me one honest woman
For one honest minute
And I'll never wash my face

If you're only there to test me
Then by God I'll surely fail
If they put you up there to save me
Then how come I always get nailed

Oh listen up, guardian angel
Have you been angry with me
Or have I slipped your mind
Oh listen up, guardian angel
When you're giving out your love
Do you think that you could you see fit
To send me someone

Some say we live only to die
When they can prove that
Then tell me why
You can't see the truth living a lie
So what am I goin' to do about it
If I can't find no way around it
What have I got to say to get you
To pay attention now

Oh listen up, guardian angel
Have you been angry with me
Or have I slipped your mind
Oh listen up, guardian angel
When you're giving out your love
Do you think that you could you see fit
To send me someone

Oh listen up, guardian angel
Have you been angry with me
Or have I slipped your mind
Oh listen up, guardian angel
When you're giving out your love
Do you think that you could you see fit
To send me someone
