Jacob and the Angel - Suzanne Vega (苏珊·薇格)

The angel came to Jacob

The room began to glow

Jacob asked the angel

Are you friend or are you foe

The angel never answered

But smote him on the thigh

They wrestled through the darkness

Till morning filled the sky

This thing between us has wings it has teeth

It has got horns and feathers and sinews beneath

Angel or demon to the truth I am bound and so

This thing between us must be wrestled down

Jacob held on to the angel

Who turned to fly and to flee

He said I must have your blessing

Before I let you leave me

The angel never answered

But smote him on the thigh

They wrestled through the darkness

Till morning filled the sky

And in the light

He knew another name

As he struggled and surrendered

To the next part of the game

This thing between us has wings it has teeth

It has got horns and feathers and sinews beneath

Angel or demon to the truth I am bound and so

This thing between us must be wrestled down

This thing between us has wings it has teeth

It has got horns and feathers and sinews beneath

Angel or demon to the truth I am bound and so

This thing between us must be wrestled down
