Angel Eyes

Lord its midnight... hear that train...

Whining through... the falling rain...

Lord its always... been the same...

People trying... to kill the pain...

Lord the wine gave her desire...

But it never put out the fire...

Angel eyes... Angel eyes...

Why did you run... away... from life

Now only rain... can make you cry...

Angel eyes... An... gel... eyes...

Lord she was... my morning star...

And you know... it broke my heart...

To watch her play... a losers game...

The game that no one... ever wins...

Lord the pills... just took her time...

They could never... ease her mind...

Angel eyes... Angel eyes...

Why did you run... away... from life

Now only rain... can make you cry...

Angel eyes... An... gel... eyes...

Give her comfort... give her peace...

Things she would not... take from me...

Lord she could not... stand the pain...

All her tears... are just the rain...

Lord you know... she could never cry...

With her beautiful... Angel eyes...

Angel eyes... Angel eyes...

Why did you run... away... from life

Now only rain... can make you cry...

Angel eyes... An... gel... eyes...
