lyrics

Tarnished Angel

Once she was his perfect angel
Heart so pure, face so fair
And when she wrapped
Those wings around him
And swore to be faithful
He took comfort there

Now she is a tarnished angel
The moon and stars no more to roam
Now she is a tarnished angel
Descended from heaven
Can’t find her way home

Now her heart
Is filled with sorrow
Now her eyes
Are filled with regret
Now her wings
Are torn and tattered
All for a lie
That she can’t forget

Now she is a tarnished angel
The moon and stars no more to roam
Now she is a tarnished angel
Descended from heaven
Can’t find her way home

Now she smokes a cigarette
Alone in the darkness
As she watches her husband playing guitar
And she sips Grand Marnier
And she thinks about flying
And she wishes for heaven
So near yet so far

Now she is a tarnished angel
The moon and stars no more to roam
Now she is a tarnished angel
Descended from heaven
Can’t find her way home
