Angels Turn Away - Joseph J. Jones

Still got your taste on my tongue

Like blood on the hands of a guilty man

Playin' around in my head

Like I’m still layin' with you in your bed

I know how to cover my tracks

But I’m lost if I’m lookin' for my way back

In the heat of the night I forget

We get deeper and deeper in secrets

But I stay

Oh lord, I stay

Every night when you’re callin' my name

The angels turn away

In the dark when you fall in my arms

We’re too far gone to save

And though you couldn’t call it love

It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us

Is not enough and no I don’t feel any shame

Let angels turn away

Let angels turn away

I’ll stay

The choir ain’t singin' for us

And they won’t ring the bells 'til we turn to dust

So there’s nobody but you and me

And we’re both free to leave 'cause we can’t breathe

But we stay

Oh lord, we stay

Every night when you’re callin' my name

The angels turn away

In the dark when you fall in my arms

We’re too far gone to save

Though you couldn’t call it love

It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us

Is not enough, no I don’t feel any shame

Let angels turn away

Oh, I got demons

But don’t need redemin'

Woah, I got demons

But don’t need redemin'

Every night when you’re callin' my name

The angels turn away

In the dark when you fall in my arms

We’re too far gone to save

Though you couldn’t call it love

It’s glorious, everything that’s good for us

Is not enough, no I don’t feel any shame

Let angels turn away

Let angels turn away

I want to stay

Let the angels turn away

I want to stay
