Guardian Angels Music & Lyrics by Shane Flew

7,000 miles say the prophets to the show Don’t misread the signs or you’ll take the heavy load Making hay in sunshine watch the tower grow Only to be locked inside a prisoner of the road Out there on the highway travelling south and east Broken down and sidelined into a screaming heap Stifled by the melting tar rising from the heat No one else knows where you are completely out of reach Caught without a phone line and nothing left to do Sinking like a stone and stuck to ground like glue Lighting up a cigarette bleeding black and blue Swearing at the universe who will pull you through Chorus: Then the guardian angels come flying down the road Searching high and low and they find me on my own They lifted me up from the fire of my hell, and I just want to thank my guardian angels. 7,000 miles say the prophets to the show You misread the signs you may take the heavy load Bask in the sunshine, watch the flowers grow Maybe it’s just basically the natural way to go To get somewhere you have to throw your hat into the ring Best to play the simple songs to hear the people sing Try and smile your day along and see what that will bring You might get the help you want, a saviour on the wing Chorus x 2 Saviour on the wing, hear the people sing, throw my hat into the ring, see what that will bring I’m a prisoner of the road, gonna take the heavy load , it’s the natural way to go it’s gonna take me to the show, the angels, the angels, the angels.
