Angel — текст песни (John Hiatt)

It is a hurtin thing you dont wanna talk about it

Pain in your heart well its takin your breath away

You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin about it

Love like this just dont come along every day



Chorus:

Somebody just stop calling you angel

Somebody just let love get up and go downtown

Somebody just stop calling you angel

Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down



They called you tookie in high school, you didnt mind it too much

Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it

You wish that it stuck with you, didnt have to trade it in on

Some crazy lovers pet name, wind up hurtin so much



Chorus



Bridge:

He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathin

You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezin

Two blood-red hearts pumpin hard out in the open

You skinned your knee at kickball

Twenty years ago against all hopin



Yall put that hammer down and drove through loves angel food cake

Tastin every spongy layer and lickin frosting off the moon

Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed

Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon



Chorus
