Lyrics Who Will Guard the Door - Over the Rhine

Who Will Guard the Door

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
