She does her best to keep me on the straight and narrow
path
But there's little she can do standing in the aftermath
She just says a little prayer
And slowly wipes a tear from her eye
I've always run faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
I've been blinded by wonder lust when it was all in
vain
Drove 90 miles an hour straight down lovers lane
And those tiny wings couldn't slow me down
No matter how hard they'd try
I've always run faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
[Chorus]
Where Angels fear to tread
Only fools rush in
And there's very little mercy at the mercy of the wind
When the rain starts to fall
And there's no place to hide
I can hear her softly cry
I've got this tattoo on my memory
A broken heart of glass
Permanent reminders of loving way too fast
And this hunger deep inside of me
That I still can't satisfy
I've always run faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
[Chorus]
Well maybe there's some shadow that I'm trying to leave
behind
Maybe there's some rainbow pot of gold I'm trying to
find
But I always learn the hard way
It's never greener on the other side I've always run
faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
I've always run faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
I've always run faster than my Guardian Angel can fly
