"Somebody Was Watching Over Me" lyrics - ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS

ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS

"Somebody Was Watching Over Me"

I've been shot up and shipped out
I've been turned away and turned around
Nobody to call my own
In this mean old world alone
Many many nights I cried
Somebody was all the time
Down in my soul I knew
Some way I'd get through

[Chorus:]
Looking back now I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)

I've been locked up and locked out
I've been used and abused
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
You know my life was so confused
Lived in a state of depression
Something saved me from my obsession
My strength was put to test
My weakness put to rest

[Chorus:]
Looking back now I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching (Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching over me (Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching (Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching over me (Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)

[Post-Chorus:]
Now my bad times are better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)

[Interlude]

(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
There was a time
When peace I could not find
Nothing to call my own
No job, no car, no home
Slaving in a one-room shack
All I had were the clothes on my back
Each day my only plan
Have a bottle in my hand

[Post-Chorus:]
Now my bad times are better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching (Somebody was watching)
Oh! (Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching (Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching (Somebody was watching)

[Outro:]
(Somebody was watching)
