Lyrics

There’s an angel in my garden She’s been sleepin’ there for days And I say “I beg your pardon, But do you remember me Before I went astray And made you run away?” She says “Of course I still remember. Honey, how could I forget? When my heart is still so tender And my cheeks are still so soaking wet?” Who’s gonna help you now? Who’s gonna help you now? Who’s gonna care when you get cut? Who’s gonna sew you back shut? She’s flyin’ high above me And I’m standin’ where she lands Up close, she looks so lovely And she lets me take her openin’ hands And we swirl and burn a million rays of light Our sonic boomin’ speed Illuminates the night And it’s just me and her The way we were Completely pure But i’m not so sure Cause my seein’s blurred And I just hold on tight And the colors melt to white And somethin’s not quite right I think she’s just being polite Cause her eyes say “I don’t need ya” And her smiles are counterfeit Could it be she’s got amnesia Or is she just now snappin’ out of it? Who’s gonna help you now? Who’s gonna help you now? Who’s gonna care when you get cut? Who’s gonna sew you back shut? Now I’ve got my own amnesia The doctor rearranged my brain And with my Everlasting Gobstopper dreams I’m a kid in a candy store.. all day
