"Misguided Angel" Lyrics

Misguided Angel
Cowboy Junkies

Yeah I said momma 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 a lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

I said brother, he speaks to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothin less
Well it's in the way he walks,
It's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger, and his kisses
Yeah I said sister don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin round the t.v. Every night
Hoping I'm finding a mister 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 a lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

He says "baby don't listen to what they say
There comes a time
When you'll have to break away"
He says "baby there are things
We all cling to all our lives
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 peice of led
Misguided angel, love you till im dead..
