Fallen Angel

I sit here in my room alone
In my dressing gown
Sunday morning comes along
With its own familiar sounds

Church bells call us all to pray
Have I gone too fast, babe

Fallen angel
Fallen angel, fallen angel
In the night
Can't fly home

Somehow all this morning light
Shines heavy on my head
I was so proud to be the girl
With a trick to turn your head

Mama beg
Don't fall to shame, oh baby
You're going to lose your name

Fallen angel
Fallen angel, fallen angel
In the night
Can't fly home

Tried so hard for those who longed
Or a way to stop the weeping
And when an angel falls
She falls a long way down
Down

Mama's gone, now I'm alone
It was a magnitude ago
Should have known these tired wings
Have almost lost their glow

Shining, I keep it shining
And we're too far down the road
For trying

Angel
Fallen angel, fallen angel
In the night
I can't fly home

Tried so hard for those who longed
Or a way to stop the weeping
And when an angel falls
She falls a long way down
Down

Fallen angel
Fallen angel, fallen angel
In the night
Can't fly home

Home
Home
I can't fly home
