The Guardian of Sleep Lyrics

Sanctuary, sanctuary! Laughing in your chair I was late up thumbing through the guide Praying for a channel to rely on to relieve the worry But if you feel the panic from the world you see inside There’s a ringing on the church bells A cast in black in white The guardian of sleep is close behind The faithful drop their kids at school They waves and run up street to catch the news as we approach the hour But cut up at the junction, the radio reveals the plea “Sanctuary, sanctuary” What else can you hear? When you feel the panic from the world you see outside They’ll be clapping from the high rise, attracted to the light The guardian of sleep is close behind They’ll have her marching to the scaffolding Swinging for a crime The guardian will follow close behind In the place where it’s sure all appears is good…
