Infamous Angel lyrics
Song information
Artist: Iris Dement Album: Infamous Angel
Lyrics
Last night before I went to sleep My knees dropped to the floor I turned me eyes up to the sky And I prayed: "please help me, lord "You know I've sowed my wild oats "And now the fun's all gone." And then I heard these tender words And I put them in my song:
"Infamous angel, come on home "To someone who loves you "And knows you needed to roam "Grab your things, a ticket's waiting "At the bus depot: "For: 'infamous angel, destination: home'."
I heard heaven's choir rejoicing As the tears broke from my eyes And all at once it lifted The weight from my past life I found a pen and I left a note On the dresser drawer: "Infamous angel: she don't live here anymore."
"Infamous angel, come on home "To someone who loves you "And knows you needed to roam "Grab your things, a ticket's waiting "At the bus depot: "For: 'infamous angel, destination: home'."
Instrumental break
Then I hurried out the back door As quickly as I could I went flying down two flights of stairs 'Til on the street I stood And there I took that final look At my old neighbourhood Then I ran down the street proclaiming: "Angel: gone for good."
Infamous angel, going home To someone who loves her And knows she needed to roam She grabbed her things and claimed the ticket At the bus depot: For: "infamous angel, destination: home." "Infamous angel, destination: home."
