Lyrics
Fallen Angels
Words and Music The Reverend Billy Rose! ©2001
A young man cries in the city
Crushed by the weight of his sin
He swears from now on things will be different
But tonight, some fool's gold will tempt him
Angel, broken angel, no, you don't have to cry
Angel,helpless angel, let the Son dry your eyes
A young woman strolls down the boulevard
Silently, past the hopeless faces
Although the streets have betrayed her innocence
Tonight she'll be someone's little girl
Angel, broken angel, no, you don't have to cry
Angel, helpless angel, let the Son dry your eyes
Angel, lost angel, spread your wings and start to fly
Angel, fallen angel, catch the wind and touch the sky
Catch the wind and touch the sky
Hey hey, yeah, hey
I say look at, all the fallen angels
Whoa whoa, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
