Where was the guard at hearts gate
Where was the guard at hearts gate
Where was the warning cry
How could he let you enter and hurt me
Why did he let you walk by
Where was the keeper of wisdom
Why was there no sage advise
Where was the counsel I now know I needed,
When I yearned for a heart made of ice
Where were my trusted companions
Who swore they would keep me from harm
Why weren't they here in the time of my downfall
When I fell for your lies and your charm
Where is the lady who promised
Her love was forever and true
Why claim her words hold a truth and a power
Then casually find love anew.
Where was the guard at hearts gate
Why was there no warning shout
Saying I'd go from the warmth of her sunlight
To living in shadows of doubt.
