Dark Angel Lyrics

the clock is runnin' backward
the rain is fallin' dry
the ice is freezin' up the window
the wind is howlin' thru' my mind
sixteen lonely hours since you told me you would call
your friends have poor excuses
I must have heard them all
I've been sleepin' in a bottle
while you cover me with sin
oh dark angel tell me where you been
nothin' cookin' in the kitchen
nothin' warmin' up my bed
telephone ain't ringin' just the voices in my head
has your heart been disconnected
by the promise of a good time
or did you always have an evil I could never recognize

you got everybody's kisses
baby tattooed on your skin
oh dark angel tell me where you been

tears that you've been laughin'
are the only tears you cry
every sympathetic shoulder gets to hear another lie
if I could just forget you I surely would be free
oh dark angel you gotta hold on me
