Your Protector Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She left a week to roam
Your protector's coming home
Keep your secrets with you, girl
Safe from the outside world
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming home, coming home

[Chorus]
As you lay to die beside me, baby
On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me?
The other one would wait for me

As you lay to die beside me, baby
On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me?
The other one would wait for me


[Post-Chorus]
You run with the devil
You run with the devil

[Verse 2]
Tell your brother to be good
Tell your sister not to go
Tell your mother not to wait
Tell your father I was good

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
