Lyrics
Believe it or not there's an angel on Ruskin
I saw her up there with my own green eyes
She's danced alone among the chimneys
Her golden wings caught the the evening sun
I hardly knew if I was still breathing
As I lost my way on the eastern stairs
She trashed my car she trashed my paintings
Her ribbons flew from her midnight hair
I was always in love's power
Always in love's power
Down on my knees
All was lost
All was broken
Brought to heel
Like an anxious guest
On the eastern stairs
I stole some token
I chased a kiss
On her golden crest
I was always in love's power
You always in love's power
Down on my knees
You would fall
Should you look into her eyes
Believe it or not there's an angel on Ruskin
I hear her laugh and I hear her sing
There's evil abroad there's a stranger on Ruskin
And memory lies like a girl on this wing
I was always in love's power
Always in love's power
Down on my knees
