Abney Park - This Dark And Twisty Road lyrics

Little girl in your dress of snowy white
Get behind me
Safe from creatures of the night
Long ago and far away, hunted my demons down
To make you a safer way, down
This dark and twisty road

Little girl, keep yourself upon the trail
(keep yourself upon the trail)
If you stray, you'll become a cautionary tale
(you'll become a cautionary tale)
With these arms and with these fists
I'll keep you safe and sound
(safe and sound)
Through the forests and the mists, down
This dark and twisty road run, little girl
I've got your back, you're covered now
Go and run and hide yourself, you're safe
Run, little girl
I've got your back, you're covered now
Go and run and hide yourself, you're safe

Little girl, one day I'll give you away
(one day I'll give you away)
Though I'll miss you, I can't ask you to stay
(can't ask you to stay)
Your whole life until this day
I have protected you
But, if you need me on your way
I'll be around (if you need me)
This dark and twisty road

Run, little girl
I've got your back, you're covered now
Go and run and hide yourself, you're safe
Run, little girl
I've got your back, you're covered now
Go and run and hide yourself, you're safe
