Lyrics
Angel (web only)
© 2007 David Harper
Angel?s got a gun tonight
She pulls into her driveway
The place is dark & locked up tight
And she cries
It?s been so long since she felt sad
Or even some emotion
It shakes her to the bones
But she walks on
Nothing is forever not even pain
What it takes to make it stop
Will be paid
She?s been gone so long now
The sky is black as coal
In another lifetime long ago
She had friends she had
A place to go
Back before the bottle ruled their lives
Now that?s all gone
Every muscle tenses
As the key goes in the door
This all ends tonight she says no more
And where he is won?t matter
He won?t feel a thing
He?s been out for hours
He?s long gone
Chorus
So this is destiny
So many tried to warn here
Party hard and die you they said
But that time has come and gone
He was so handsome
Now she?s only left with bones
Two shots ring out
Past the silence in the night
Angel?s in flight
