| [00:12.136] |
The street that drags me up the hill |
| [00:15.114] |
To the wrong side of the road |
| [00:17.635] |
Where young drinking men, meet regret |
| [00:20.591] |
And love is sought and sold |
| [00:23.508] |
Where solid possibilities |
| [00:26.347] |
Are ground away to dust |
| [00:29.259] |
In a demon's dance |
| [00:30.782] |
I first glanced |
| [00:32.441] |
My Angel of the Cross. |
| [00:37.253] |
Floating past the fountain, to El Alamein |
| [00:42.875] |
Caught in her and haunted |
| [00:44.960] |
I will climb this hill again |
| [00:48.061] |
With such a beauty recognized |
| [00:50.961] |
I walk until I'm lost |
| [00:54.385] |
I followed her, I couldn't talk to her |
| [00:57.041] |
My Angel of the Cross. |
| [01:01.527] |
Each man, has his hungers |
| [01:04.195] |
And mine's for such as you |
| [01:06.661] |
If I had a savior's courage |
| [01:09.310] |
I'd know exactly what to do |
| [01:12.267] |
But I'm no knight in shining armor |
| [01:15.853] |
And you no nightingale |
| [01:18.869] |
I'm sorry Angel of the Cross |
| [01:22.685] |
This is not a fairytale. |
| [01:27.641] |
Your supple skin will harden |
| [01:30.881] |
Shut down and left to die |
| [01:33.693] |
Your breath will sigh and leave you |
| [01:36.627] |
Speechless and out of time |
| [01:39.533] |
And you'll shrink into your bones |
| [01:43.195] |
"Till amongst the bones you lie. |
| [01:55.690] |
These lights are sirens dear not beacons |
| [01:58.480] |
As you have come to know |
| [02:02.262] |
The river's only raindrops |
| [02:04.977] |
That counterfelt the glow |
| [02:07.932] |
I watched through sweethearts window |
| [02:10.302] |
You count your tips and not the costs |
| [02:13.816] |
Tonight I may well speak your name |
| [02:16.382] |
My Angel of the Cross. |
| [02:20.933] |
Each man, has his hungers |
| [02:23.792] |
And mine's for such as you |
| [02:26.183] |
If I had a savior's courage |
| [02:28.710] |
I'd know exactly what to do |
| [02:31.684] |
But I'm no knight in shining armor |
| [02:34.773] |
And you no nightingale |
| [02:38.124] |
I'm sorry Angel of the Cross |
| [02:41.786] |
This is not a fairytale. |
| [02:47.392] |
Your supple skin will harden |
| [02:50.296] |
Shut down and left to die |
| [02:53.173] |
Your breath will sigh and leave you |
| [02:55.900] |
Speechless and out of time |
| [02:59.106] |
And you become transparent |
| [03:01.616] |
In the shuttered view of passers by |
| [03:05.157] |
And you'll shrink into your bones |
| [03:08.166] |
"Till amongst the bones you lie. |
| [03:15.140] |
These lights are sirens dear not beacons |
| [03:18.557] |
As you have come to know. |
