Natalie Merchant's "Guardian Angel" from her album 'Keep Your Courage,' out now on Nonesuch Records: nataliemerchant.lnk.to/KeepYourCourage
GUARDIAN ANGEL
(words & music by Natalie Merchant)
Guardian Angel, I’ve heard you laugh,
kicking stones, breaking branches in your path.
Thought I felt your hand,
saw your shadow pass.
Guardian Angel, I’m begging you,
please forgive these things I do,
I never meant to harm;
I know you see me through.
You take my breath away,
take my breath away.
You take my breath away.
Guardian Angel, I'm at your feet.
Where's the love you promised me?
Where’s your tender heart full of sympathy?
Guardian Angel, I don’t believe
you could ever take from me
all the love had ever belonged to me.
You’d take my breath away,
take my breath away.
Take my breath away.
Guardian Angel, I’ll track you down
there’s no place on earth you can’t be found.
Woe be unto the soul that harbors you.
I’ll take your breath away,
take your breath away.
I’ll take your breath away
