The Secret Angel Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

The Secret Angel Lyrics

    The secret angel fell from grace
    Condemned to wear a human face
    Evicted from her paradise
    Excommunicated twice
    Settled for second best
    And so she found me


    Don't ask the nature of her crime
    Don't ask her why she's serving time
    Don't ask this girl why she can't cry
    Don't ask her questions that start "why"
    I'm trying to help her start anew
    To learn to walk when once she flew
    Above the ups and downs
    That floor and ground us


    Into the dark, she was reborn
    She says tonight will have no dawn
    And all the light drains from her eyes
    As she forgets to say goodbye
    To one more memory
    That tries to lift her high


    She drafts new plans and draws designs
    To find a way for her to fly
    I hide them when her back is turned
    The secret angel never learns
    She just gets burned again
    And falls eternally....
