Melissa Etheridge - Angels Would Fall lyrics

The rope that`s wrapped around me

Is cutting through my skin

And the doubts that have surrounded me

Are finding their way in

I keep it close to me

Like a holy man prays

In my desperate hour

It`s better that way

So I`ll come by and see you again

I`ll be such a very good friend

Have mercy on my soul

I will never let you know

Where my mind has been

Angels never came down

There`s no one here they want to hang around

But if they knew

If they knew you at all

Then one by one the angels

Angels would fall

I`ve crept into your temple

I have slept upon your pew

I`ve dreamed of the divinity

Inside and out of you

I want it more than truth

I can taste it on my breath

I would give my life just for a little death

So I`ll come by and see you again

I`ll be just a very good friend

I will not look upon your face

I will not touch upon your grace

Your ecclesiastic skin

I`ll come by and see you again

I`ll have to be a very good friend

If I whisper they will know

I`ll just turn around and go

You will never know my sin
