Colvin Shawn Cry Like An Angel Lyrics

Cry Like An Angel Lyrics

The streets of my town are not

 what they were 

 They are haloed in anger, bitter

 and hurt

 And it's not so you'd notice but

 it's a sinister thing

 Like the wheels of ambition at

 the christening

 

 So I went out walking on the

 streets of the dead

 With a chip on my shoulder

 And a voice in my head

 It said you have been brought here

 Though you don't know what for

 

 Well the mystery train is coming

 right to your door

 

 And I hear you calling, you

 don't have to call so loud

 I see you falling and you don't

 have to walk so proud

 You can run all night but we

 can take you where

 You can cry like an angel

 

 There were high school night dances

 When we played stump the band

 We were raising each other

 In a strange land

 There were hard pills to swallow

 But we drank 'em all down

 Oh the nights were too short then

 And now they're a little too long

 

 I hear you calling and you

 don't have to call so loud

 I see you falling and you don't

 have to walk so proud

 You can run all night but we

 can take you where

 You can shout out in anger

 You can laugh like a fool

 You can cry like an angel

 

 So look homeward baby

 Keep your eyes on the sky

 They will never forgive you

 So don't ask them to try

 This is your party, I know

 it's not your ideal

 May we all find salvation

 In professions that heal

 

 I hear you calling, you

 don't have to call so loud

 I see you falling and you don't

 have to walk so proud

 You can run all night but we

 can take you where

 You can shout out an answer

 You can laugh like a fool

 

 You can call up to heaven

 We'll be listening to you

 You can sing hallelujah 

 You can fly like a bird

 You can cry like angel

 When there are no words
