Funk Angel Lyrics by Brinsley Schwarz

Despite it All

1970

[Verse 1]
Well the sun shone down so hard
It set our backs and hearts on fire
And it grew so hot and dry
All we could do was watch the grass turn brown
And pray for rain
[Chorus 1]
Oh
I looked back down the hill at my friends with the light in their hair:
They were runnin'
I heard them comin'
From a mile away
[Vrese 2]
When I met you off the sea-train
You flew back west 'cos you thought it best to go
Oh, and when I kissed you
I knew you was a soul-sister trying to find a way back home
[Chorus 2]
Oh
She said there ain't no one can do the things I can
In the back of a grey van
Darlin' here I am
Waitin' for your telegram
[Verse 3]
Well the sun went down, the moon came up
And she screamed so loud it almost blew my mind
So I cruised on down the mainline
And I watched it all go
Just like yesterday
[Chorus 3]
Oh
We decided Billy, Bob and me
To go for a country maid
Oh but the Angel stayed
For three more days
Gettin' in my way
