THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
" Angel " is about a young girl caught up in the usual trappings of life : emotional concerns, and conforming to a world in which values are vague and insignificant. The song is sung by her admirer, whose attachment to her is unwavering despite her meanderings into the nether world of a lost culture. She is the prize and that is not about to change.
Lyrics
ANGEL
Words and Music by John Keaton, Joel Keaton and John Carriero
She’s an angel
In a devil’s world She’s an angel In a devil’s world In a devil’s world
She’s an angel
Verse 1
We were dancing on the edge of time
Can’t shake the rhythm In this heart of mine
So now the battle begins Will I ever make it
Through this midnight rain ?
But........
She’s an angel
In a devil’s world She’s an angel
In a devil’s world
Verse 2
Can’t sleep at night
The walls are closing in
Just a mile or so from my deepest sin Too much confusion
No one really wins Will I ever make it
Through this midnight rain ?
REPEAT CHORUS
She’s an angel
She’s a beauty
BRIDGE
In the prison of my soul
You’re the secret never told
I long to hold you in my shadow side
I had enough Can’t handle the madness
Setting you free That’s the only key
Setting you free Yea, it’s got to be
Can’t sleep at night, the wall are closing in
Gotta, gotta, gotta break on through
This midnight rain
She’s an angel……………………
