Glass Angels

They watch over thoughtfully

as i'm sleeping in my bed

they bless the pillows

where i lay my weary head



they watch me when i'm wide awake

and even when i'm fast asleep

they're there when i laugh

and also when i weep



They never leave

they never stray

there through the night

and there through the day



And when my days are over

when my life is through

i will take my glass angels

and give them all to you



i hope that you take care of them

i hope you love them too

i hope that they'll take their blessings

and bestow them upon you



i hope you know how much they meant

when i had them by my side

and i hope you look to them

when you're in a bind



i know that they can't move

and as for talking, they cannot

but they'll watch over you

and listen when you want



so at the end of your day

when you lay down your weary head

i hope you let them bless the room

as you sleep in your bed
