Warden in the Sky Lyrics

I stand with prison bars around me

And we have kissed our last goodbye
I walk my last long mile at midnight

To meet my warden in the skies

I see the stars in all their glory

Out my window as they shine

They ask me is my spirit ready

To meet my warden in the skies

Without your love I would feel guilty

Your kisses, dear, my feet will guide
Your hopes and dreams will light my path, dear

To meet my warden in the skies

Your love I'll tell to all my buddies

When I cross to life's other side

I'll answer work-call in the morning

With my warden in the skies
These walls of rocks and stone around me

These bars of iron I leave behind

I'll write your letters on the moonbeams

From my warden in the skies

Without your love I would feel guilty

Your kisses, dear, my feet will guide

Your hopes and dreams will light my path, dear

To meet my warden in the skies
