Street Angel Lyrics

     I've been walking under rainbows too long to tell
     You keep walking down mean streets 
     my street angel
     I try to bring you in out of the cold
     But street angels live on the street 
     And they always will

     Street angels aren't like anyone you know
     They do what they want and they go where they go
     They may tell you
     that you hold the world in your hands
     But they always give it back 
     They always give it back

     No amount of crying changes your mind
     No amount of praying brings you inside
     I know that you love me 
     and that you always will
     You just stand outside and call to me 
     My sweet street angel

     A Charles Dickens character,
     with your top hat and your scarf
     When you pull me through the rainbow 
     I thought you'd stop
     But you didn't you turned around 
     You went back to the children and your music 
     And the people that you love

     I can't help but wonder if 
     Every one in a while you remember the girl
     When you were a homeless angel 
     that drove you wild
     Strange and elusive 

     No amount of crying changes your mind
     No amount of praying brings you inside
     I know that you love me and that you always will
     You just stand outside and call to me 
     My sweet street angel

     So I ended it all for the both of us
     I fell down the stairs a broken rag doll
     But you never knew you just thought I went away
     With nothing more to hope for 
     But you don't hear voices anymore
     No my sweet street angel
