Lyrics
|
|
I've been walking under rainbows...too long to tell
|
You keep walking down mean streets...
|
my street angel
|
I try to bring you in...out of the cold
|
But street angels live on the street...
|
And they always will
|
|
Street angels aren't like anyone you know
|
They do what they want...and they go where they go
|
They may tell you
|
that you hold the world in your hands
|
But they always give it back...
|
(They always give it back)
|
|
CHORUS:
|
No amount of crying...changes your mind
|
No amount of praying...brings you inside
|
I know that you love me...
|
and that you always will
|
You just stand outside and call to me...
|
My sweet street angel
|
|
A Charles Dickens character,
|
with your top hat and your scarf
|
When you pull me through the rainbow...
|
I thought you'd stop
|
But you didn't...you turned around...
|
You went back to the children...and your music...
|
And the people that you love
|
|
I can't help but wonder if...
|
Every one in a while...you remember the girl
|
When you were a homeless angel...
|
that drove you wild
|
Strange and elusive...
|
|
CHORUS:
|
No amount of crying...changes your mind
|
No amount of praying...brings you inside
|
I know that you love me...and that you always will
|
You just stand outside and call to me...
|
My sweet street angel
|
|
(SOLO)
|
|
So I ended it all...for the both of us
|
I fell down the stairs...a broken rag doll
|
But you never knew...you just thought I went away
|
With nothing more to hope for...
|
But you don't hear voices anymore
|
No...my sweet street angel
|
|
