Mark Knopfler - Angel Of Mercy lyrics

rate me

Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight

I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight

Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised

Angel of mercy you'll come to no harm

Angel of mercy, there's no need for alarm

The knight in his armour wants a night in your arms

You know he's honest

Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Sweet angel

Well now it's too late for talkin', we can talk later on

Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of dawn

And I need is a little oblivion, you don't need protection

Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed

Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head

I don't want your money, I want you instead

Don't need rejection yeah

Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Well, if you cross your heart

And spit and swear upon the grave of your mother

You gotta get into it, You gotta tell me that I'm more than a lover

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight

A-give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight

A-give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight

A-give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
