Keeper Of Abbeys

[Intro] Keeper of abbeys His name was carved in the grey stone It was the angel of the north [Verse 1] Reaching for a last Remnant of the light It catches the high stones He came down from the moors He'd seen much better days He set himself to the rain [Chorus] Keeper of abbeys (Keeper of abbeys) His name was carved in the grey stone It was the angel of the north Keeper of abbeys (Keeper of abbeys) His name was carved in the grey stone It was the angel of the north [Verse 2] Reaching for the light Rising like the cooling towers of the edgelands Weathered like the stone Long ago he set himself to the rain [Chorus] Keeper of abbeys (Keeper of abbeys) His name was carved in the grey stone It was the angel of the north Keeper of abbeys (Keeper of abbeys) His name was carved in the grey stone It was the angel of the north [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh Oh, oh [Bridge] In his eyes The embers of love, ooh Fading and failing If you look close, if you look hard You can see the traces He has become the stones, weathered to fall Oh, reaching for the last dying ray of light In a valley in the north Where a river runs its course He had wanted to travel [Instrumental Outro]
