Baby Angel

from Cool Waves, Young Blood by Home Lives

lyrics

Slept out on the front porch again
The lawn chair left wrinkles in my head
I'd rather be sprawled across your bed
While you revive parts of me that are dead

I remember a time before I could sniff
Another's kiss upon your lip
Your mother never cared for you like I did
But even that won't save this sinking ship

I'm the casualty of your caress
And you're a thief to steal my breath
I've seen the light of God reflected in your breast
But now your father's got you on house arrest
Because he doesn't like the way that you dream of me
Walking out on you on shuffled feet
While the baby angels sing a song so sweet
Nothing that he fears will prove to be

You're gonna have to leave your friends and family behind
You're gonna have to forget about everything you never thought you could
Because it's everyone else or me
You have to prove your loyalty
That's the way it has to be
Because that's the way it has to be
