Lyrics

GUARDIAN ANGEL EYES copyright ollie gallagher 2010

VERSE 1
AS I WATCH THE TIDE RISE
IT CALMS THE RIVER FLOW
I RECALL HOW HER SOFT HAND
WOULD CALM MY YOUNG TROUBLED BROW

SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE
TO TEACH ME WHAT I KNOW
AND HOW TO STAND UP
TO THE BLOWS

CHORUS
I KNOW SHE IS BY MY SIDE
WITH GUARDIAN ANGEL EYES

VERSE 2
I’VE WALKED SOME HARD ROADS
SOME CROOKED MILES
TO KNOW THE FALSE HEARTS
FROM THE KIND

THIS PILGRIM VALLEY
THIS VALE OF TEARS
SHE WALKED THEM LIKE ME
IN HER YEARS

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
WHEN HER STRENGTH WAS FADING
I’D WATCH OUTSIDE HER DOOR
THE RISE AND FALL OF HER BREATHING
AFRAID THAT SHE WOULD GO

ONE NIGHT THE TIDE FILLED
OUR WINTER MOONLIT TOWN
THE RIVER ROSE UP GENTLY
IN THE MORNING SHE WAS GONE

REPEAT CHORUS
