The Angel Song

Fallen angel ripped and bruised Think on better days Life is rude, treats you bad Tears your wings away Raise your eyes to star and sky Believe in fly always Take your dreams, your broken schemes And sweep the past away Fly lonely angel High above these streets Fly lonely angel Far away from mad desire Hollywood ain't paved with gold It's just a trick of light Sunset falls on stars of old And blinds you with its light A spiders web of tangled lives Lays stretched across the hills From distances it's glistening Like El Dorado's halls Fly lonely angel High above these streets of fire Fly lonely angel Far away from mad desire The dream was light And fragrant nights But how were you to know The streets are hard They're mean and scared Where only fools find gold Fly lonely angel High above these streets of fire Fly lonely angel Far away from mad desire Fly lonely angel Spread your wings another way Fly lonely angel Find a better way A better day
