Angel  (d.harper ©2004)

Angel’s got a gun tonight
She pulls into her driveway
The place is dark and locked up tight
And she cries
It’s been so long since she felt sad
Or even some emotion
It shakes her to the bones 
But she walks on

Nothing is forever
Not even pain
What it costs to make it stop
Will be paid
She been gone so long now
The sky is black as coal
In another lifetime
Long ago
She had friends
She had a place to go
Back before the bottle ruled their lives
Now they’re all gone


And every muscle tenses
And the key goes in the door
This all ends tonight she says
No more
And where he is won’t matter
He won’t feel a thing
He’s been out for hours
He’s long gone

Chorus

So this is destiny 
So many tried to warn her
Party hard & die young they said
But that time has come and gone
He was so handsome
Now she’s left with only bones
Two shots ring out… past the silence in the night
Angel’s in flight
Angel’s in flight
