GUARDIAN

lyrics: J. Morse © 1986

The way he saw her grow
From a child to a woman
Makes him wonder how he missed
The important side of it all
It seems their days were numbered
When the fun became a bore
When the good times became a nightmare
When he ignored her call
   But still a primal instinct
   Reaches out to grab the phone
   Cause he's got to have an eye on her
   He can't leave it alone

The way she's seen him rise
From a boy into a man
Makes her wonder how she failed to see
The changes coming through
Things weren't the same as they were before
The things they thought were great
Became the things they never did
She can't believe what happened to the two
   And still they sit and mesmerise
   Themselves with the mystery of it all
   And fail to hear the ringer sound
   When the other tries to call

But still a primal instinct
Reaches out to grab the phone
Cause he's got to have an eye on her
He can't leave it alone
