An Angel In The Morning Glow

So, listen up, I went to the graveyard And this is what the boogeyman told me... Let's go (Verse 1) The girl stood on the bridge, starin' at the black water flow Down in the canyon, where the lost souls go Mama said, "Why's she writin' them poems all the time? That child's gone crazy, lost in her rhyme." (Verse 2) The girl cried a while, then looked over her shoulder, At the town below, gettin' colder and older How could this place ever feel like home? With the river runnin' black, and her heart filled with loam (Chorus) The water was black, like the night, Mama wore black, hidin' from the light The preacher man sipped his coffee slow Daddy was in jail, where the bad men go Someone brought flowers to the door But Daddy was gone, forevermore Forevermore And ever Solo! (Verse 3) Some folks chase the moon, some end up in jail Some just got a bad hand, in this life's hard tale Daddy went to jail, five years ago Mama's heart broke, watchin' him go I put cardboard on the windows, to keep the cold at bay Listened to the radio, prayin' for a better day Sunday mornin' came, Mama passed in the night Leavin' me alone, in the pale mornin' light (Chorus) Daddy was in jail, Mama flew to the sky The preacher man sipped his coffee, with a tear in his eye Brother was drunk, cryin' in the snow An angel appeared, in the mornin's soft glow. An angel in the morning glow An angel in the morning glow (Outro) Daddy was in jail, Mama flew to the sky The preacher man sipped his coffee, with a sigh Brother was drunk, cryin' in the snow An angel appeared, in the mornin's soft glow An angel in the morning glow An angel in the morning glow An angel in the morning glow
