The Guardian of Sleep

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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There's a ringing on church bells
Casting black and white
The guardian sleeps close behind
Behind
Faithful drop the kids at school
They wave and run up street to catch the news as we approach the hour
We're cut off at the junction
The radio reveals a plea
Sanctuary, sanctuary
What else can you hear when you feel the
Panic from the world you see outside?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There'll be clapping from the high-rise
Attracted to the light
The guardian sleeps close behind
Behind
They'll have you marching to the scaffold
Swinging for a crime
The guardian will follow close behind
Behind
In the place where it's sure all appears...
Is gold
Uh, uh
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
