Love Guard
©dave koehne 2011 (Allegro - open to recommendations)


That fateful night I didn’t expect
Leaned on the rail to catch your glimpse
Thought I was safe out in the unknown
Your reach extended well into my zone
And I got caught with my love-guard down


Normally my heart-shell can’t be beat
Through the spotlights I’m usually above reach
Since then I can’t concentrate
I’m seizing - paralyzed – and weak


Chorus
Your love spell is strong
It’s like raptor charm
Got caught with my love-guard down

Seems there no antidote can’t get you out
Transfusion won’t see me through.
Your pulsing inside goin’ outta my mind
Now look at the spell you wove
Your under my skin and circulating within
You weave that magic that can’t be undone.

Chorus
Your love spell is strong
It’s like raptor charm
I got caught with my love-guard down

The warping of time is not on my side
It was fate that led me along.
I Thought the distance was safe
Shouldn’t have acted in haste
I misunderstood the unknown, and
You weave that magic that can’t be undone

Repeat Chorus
