"Angel Of The Night" lyrics - THE STEELDRIVERS

THE STEELDRIVERS
"Angel Of The Night"
(Mike Henderson / Chris Stapleton)

Now the music is playing
In a whiskey saloon
It comes through my window
Like a favorite tune

I can walk down the stairway
I can walk down the street
And lay down my money
But it's not what I need

[Chorus:]
Let me fly on your wings
Rise above these earthly things
Make it all be alright
Angel of the night, angel of the night

There's a weight on my shoulder
That won't let me be
Like something left over
Between you and me

I know there's a danger
Whenever we touch
It's always the last time
But it's never enough

[Chorus 3x]
