Lyrics Angels Turn Away - Joseph J. Jones

Angels Turn Away

Still got your taste on my tongue
Like blood on the hands of a guilty man
Playin' around in my head
Like I’m still layin' with you in your bed
I know how to cover my tracks
But I’m lost if I’m lookin' for my way back
In the heat of the night I forget
We get deeper and deeper in secrets
But I stay
Oh lord, I stay
Every night when you’re callin' my name
The angels turn away
In the dark when you fall in my arms
We’re too far gone to save
And though you couldn’t call it love
It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us
Is not enough and no I don’t feel any shame
Let angels turn away
Let angels turn away
I’ll stay
The choir ain’t singin' for us
And they won’t ring the bells 'til we turn to dust
So there’s nobody but you and me
And we’re both free to leave 'cause we can’t breathe
But we stay
Oh lord, we stay
Every night when you’re callin' my name
The angels turn away
In the dark when you fall in my arms
We’re too far gone to save
Though you couldn’t call it love
It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us
Is not enough, no I don’t feel any shame
Let angels turn away
Oh, I got demons
But don’t need redemin'
Woah, I got demons
But don’t need redemin'
Every night when you’re callin' my name
The angels turn away
In the dark when you fall in my arms
We’re too far gone to save
Though you couldn’t call it love
It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us
Is not enough, no I don’t feel any shame
Let angels turn away
Let angels turn away
I want to stay
Let the angels turn away
I want to stay
