Shadow of a Saint Lyrics

Sat in the grass, up on a hill
The air so still, you came to me to say
I'll take away your tears, and stay with you for years

Sat in the grass, up on a hill
The air so still, you came to me to say
I will wash away your fears, and stay with you for years

I lay beneath the wings of an angel
I'm standing in the shadow of a saint
All roads are long and no one can deny them
Everything will come to those who wait

And in the time it takes a man to fall
I'll stand up & take it all
I'll take you all with me, put you on your seat

I lay beneath the wings of an angel
I'm standing in the shadow of a saint
All roads are long and no one can deny them
Everything will come to those who wait

I'll stay beneath the wings of an angel
I'm standing in the shadow of a saint
I'll stay beneath the wings of an angel

I'll stay beneath the wings of an angel

I'm standing in the shadow of a saint

I'll stay beneath the wings of an angel

I'll stay beneath the wings of an angel

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

should be... i'll WASH away your tears and stay with you for years... and... I'll TAKE away you fears and stay with you...

doesn't make sense the way he wrote it, why confuse taking with washing, obviously wrong, but yet he continues with it, fools me why.
