Gretchen Peters - Dark Angel lyrics

rate me

(with Rodney Crowell)

i got no use for harps and wings

i got no time for foolish things

there is no heaven, there is no hell

there's only you, my dark angel

your bleeding heart, your pilgrim soul

your wounded eyes, that take their toll

your ragged voice like a broken bell

against the noise, my dark angel

and if there is no hereafter

and there is only here

life is still a beautiful disaster

ah but you know that my dear

so let the curtain rise, let the great world spin

if it's all for show – let the show begin

everybody's got something, something to sell

except for you, my dark angel

there is no heaven, there is no hell

there's only you, my dark angel

there's only you, my dark angel
