Cry Like an Angel |
S. Colvin — J. Leventhal |
The streets of my town are not |
what they were |
They are haloed in anger, bitter |
and hurt |
And it’s not so you’d notice but |
it’s a sinister thing |
Like the wheels of ambition at the christening |
So I went out walking on the |
streets of the dead |
With a chip on my shoulder |
And a voice in my head |
It said you have been brought here |
Though you don’t know what for |
Well the mystery train is coming |
right to your door |
And I hear you calling, you |
don’t have to call so loud |
I see you falling and you don’t |
have to walk so proud |
You can run all night but we can take you where |
You can cry like an angel |
There were high school night dances |
When we played stump the band |
We were raising each other |
In a strange land |
There were hard pills to swallow |
But we drank 'em all down |
Oh the nights were too short then |
And now they’re a little too long |
I hear you calling and you |
don’t have to call so loud |
I see you falling and you don’t |
have to walk so proud |
You can run all night but we can take you where |
You can shout out in anger |
You can laugh like a fool |
You can cry like an angel |
So look homeward baby |
Keep your eyes on the sky |
They will never forgive you |
So don’t ask them to try |
This is your party, I know |
it’s not your ideal |
May we all find salvation |
In professions that heal |
I hear you calling, you |
don’t have to call so loud |
I see you falling and you don’t |
have to walk so proud |
