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
