Angel Ballad Lyrics by Hurray for the Riff Raff

My Dearest Darkest Neighbor

0

Well, the radio played
And the bed was made
And my lover watched the sunlight
As it crawled into the shade
To the shade
And he left the room as softly as he came
Well, it was not spring
And it was not in the fall
Was the middle of the winter
When he pinned me to the wall
To the wall
It was freezin' when he pinned me to the wall
So I pulled on my coat
And I sewed up my dress
As my lover lay there sleepin' well
I packed my things and left
When I left
Well, that sun was barely risin' when I left
Well, the devil has been known
To chase angels from their homes
And I know I've got some angel left inside me
But my halo's hangin' low
My halo's hangin' low
And I'm nine hundred miles from my home
Well, my cool drink of water
It's been turned to gasoline
And my man, he don't love me
He's the lowest man I've seen
Well, let your ears hang low
Hear the sighin' of the crows
This terrible secret we've been whisperin'
If you gotta go
You've gotta go alone
Tremblin' as the arrow stands the bow
Oh, before I left
I watched him as he lay
Exhausted by the madness that unraveled in his brain
Well, goodbye darling
Goodbye darling
Never will you see me anymore
Farewell darling
Farewell darling
Never will I see you anymore
