Misguided Angel - Cowboy Junkies

I said "Mama he's crazy and he scares me

But I want him by my side

Though he's wild and he's bad

And sometimes just plain mad

I need him to keep me satisfied"

I said "Papa don't cry cause it's alright

And I see you in some of his ways

Though he might not give me the life that you wanted

I'll love him the rest of my days"

Misguided angel hangin' over me

Heart like a Gabriel pure and white as ivory

Soul like a Lucifer black and cold like a piece of lead

Misguided angel love you 'til I'm dead

I said "Brother you speak to me of passion

You said never to settle for nothing less

Well it's in the way he walks

It's in the way he talks

His smile his anger and his kisses"

I said "Sister don't you understand

He's all I ever wanted in a man

I'm tired of sittin' around the T V every night

Hoping I'm finding a Mr Right"

Misguided angel hangin' over me

Heart like a Gabriel pure and white as ivory

Soul like a Lucifer

Black and cold like a piece of lead

Misguided angel love you 'til I'm dead

He says "Baby don't listen to what they say

There comes a time when you have to break away"

He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life

It's time to let them go and become my wife"

Misguided angel hangin' over me

Heart like a Gabriel pure and white as ivory

Soul like a Lucifer

Black and cold like a piece of lead

Misguided angel love you 'til I'm dead
