Lyrics
Written by judee sill 1972 emi blackwood music bmi
Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger 'Cause I heard his sweet song It was gently enticing me But there was something wrong And when I turned He was gone Blinding me His song remains reminding me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker My jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me
He wages war with the devil With a pistol by his side He's always chasing him out of windows And he won't give him a place to hide But he keeps his door Open wide Fighting him He lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker My jesus was a cross maker Yeah, jesus was a cross maker
(Here's a verse ms. sill wrote, which warren leaves out: Maybe he thought he had enough thunder on this record, already: I heard the thunder come rumblin' The light never looked so dim I see the junction git nearer And danger is in the wind And either road's lookin' grim
Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh, but jesus was a cross maker Yes, jesus was a cross maker)
