Infamous Angel

[Verse 1]

Last night before I went to sleep

My knees dropped to the floor

I turned me eyes up to the sky

And I prayed: "Please help me, Lord

You know I've sowed my wild oats

And now the fun's all gone."

And then I heard these tender words

And I put them in my song:

[Chorus]

Infamous Angel, come on home

To someone who loves you

And knows you needed to roam

Grab your things, a ticket's waiting

At the bus depot:

"For: 'Infamous Angel, Destination: Home'."

[Verse 2]

I heard Heaven's choir rejoicing

As the tears broke from my eyes

And all at once it lifted

The weight from my past life

I found a pen and I left a note

On the dresser drawer:

"Infamous Angel: she don't live here anymore."

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Then I hurried out the back door

As quickly as I could

I went flying down two flights of stairs

Until on the street I stood

And there I took that final look

At my old neighbourhood

Then I ran down the street proclaiming:

"Angel: gone for good."

[Chorus]
