Manfred Mann Angels At My Gate Lyrics

Angels At My Gate Lyrics

There's a finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker
knows he can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in
town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape. 

58, 56, 54,
Good
angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.


Throw a seven down,
Place another bet,
The joker laughs as the
stakes get higher.
The gambler and the clown,
Without a safety
net,
Balancing unsteady on a wire. 

58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my
door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate. 

There's a
finger on the dial,
The lucky wheel goes round,
Little joker knows he
can't escape.
The same time every year,
The fun fair's back in
town,
Numbers in the air like ticker tape. 

58, 56, 54,
Good
angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.
59,
58, 57, 56, 55, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59,
58,
Good angels at my gate.
59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, [fading]
