TIRED ANGEL

Out of the window and into the sky
She says a prayer
She says goodbye
Watches the city below
Through the tears in her eyes
And the lights seem so far
And the trees
And the cars
And the treacherous feeling she gets
When she thinks with her heart
We lit a fire
I was burned too
Now that I’ve faded away
I’ve got a message for you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel

Out in the air your precarious perch
Girl assumed lost
Soon they will search
But they’ll never find you cause
They never knew who you are
You were soft
You were fine
Never cold
So refined
And no one can ever hold on to you
One at a time
We lit a fire
We were burned too
Now that I’m faded away
I’ve got a message for you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel

Now you’ve stepped out on the blue moonlit wire
Watch your step easy
Wings of desire
Earth is below you but you can’t hear voices at all
And the lights seem so far
And the trees
And the cars
Like no one below you could possible care if you fall
We lit a fire
We were burned through
Now that I’m so far away
I try to hold on to you

Fall down
Fall Down
Come Down
Tired Angel
