[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.
