[Verse 1]
The big screen crawled like a shark
So I kissed her hard in the dark
The band were playing their chords for
Tears, she was crying like a tiger in a storm
Losing every colour in the rain
[Refrain]
She called me stupid
She can call me anything at all
She's got a tattoo written on her
Even angels fall in the dark
[Verse 2]
I took out on the road where
I played two hundred shows there
Like a jacket on her shoulders
In a fire, I could hold her
Walking down a dirty street
She ran like a crashing snare beat
[Verse 3]
Angels can run like that
When they're running off track
See that woman with a smile
I used to know her for a while
[Chorus]
Angel, do you cry when they hold you?
Falling down a river where a hometown memory goes to
"Are you going back for her?" said Joe
Are you crazy?
I was never gonna let her go from my heart
[Post-Chorus]
And I know that you've been waiting
And dreaming of her so
For I love her like an angel
And I wanna take her home
[Refrain]
She called me stupid
She can call you anything at all
See that woman in your room?
She used to know me all the way through
[Chorus]
Angel, do you cry when they hold you?
Falling down a river where a hometown memory goes to
"Are you going back for her?" said Joe
Are you crazy?
I was never gonna let her go from my heart
[Post-Chorus]
And I know that you've been waiting
And dreaming of her so
For I love her like an angel
And I wanna take her home
