When you were young, we took you in, wrapped you in your dress
Eager as the Watchmen are, you could not resist
Who knew I would falter? Who knew I'd slip?
Who would make the lions mute? I can't resist
Won't you come and cover me with your wings?
Come and cover, cover me

When you were young, we took you in, sold you off for rent
Stood behind a graveyard smile, your days were spent
Who knew I would I would falter? Who knew I'd slip?
Who would make the the lions mute? I can't resist
Won't you come and cover me with your wings?
Come and cover, cover me

My heart is strong, but my will is weak
My heart is strong, but my will is weak
Oh come and cover, cover me with your wings
Come and cover, cover me, ooh
My heart is strong, but my will is weak
