cry like an angel (live) - shawn colvin lyrics

[verse 1]
the streets of my town
are not what they were
they are haloed in anger
bitter and hurt
it’s not so you’d notice
but it’s a sinister thing
like the wheels of ambition
turning christening

[verse 2]
mmm, so i went out walking
on the streets of the dead
with a chip on my shoulder
and a voice in my head
and it said you have been brought here
though you don’t know what for
well, the mystery train is coming
right to your door
[chorus]
i hear you calling
and you don’t have to call so loud
i see you falling
and you don’t have to walk so proud
you can run all night
but we can take you where
you can cry like an angel

[verse 3]
high school night dances
when we played stump the band
wе were raising each othеr
in a strange land
there were hard pills to swallow
but we drank ’em all down
well, the nights were too short then
now they’re a little too long

[chorus]
i hear you calling
you don’t have to call so loud
i see you falling
and you don’t have to walk so proud
you can run all night
but we can take you where
you can shout out in anger
you can laugh like a fool
you can cry like an angel
[bridge]
mmm, yeah
oh, oh

[verse 4]
oh, look homeward baby
keep your eyes on the sky
they will never forgive you
so don’t ask them to try
this is my party
and though it’s not my ideal
may we all find salvation
in professions that heal

[chorus]
i hear you calling
you don’t have to call so loud
i see you falling
and you don’t have to walk so proud
you can run all night
we can take you where
you can shout out in anger
you can laugh like a fool
you can call up to heaven
we’ll be listening to you
you can sing hallelujah
you can fly like a bird
you can cry like an angel
when there are no words
