Older Angel

Kate Campbell


I don't know 
Who dug this hole 
We're standing in
All I know is that 
It's dark and deep
We've cried out 
To heaven 
And lifted up 
Our hands
But I kind of got 
This feeling 
We ain't getting 
Nowhere man

We need 
An older angel 
If we're 
Gonna make it through
One who's been around 
This block 
We're on a time or two
If he knows 
All the angles 
Then we might 
Have a prayer
We need 
An older angel tonight 
If we're gonna get there

People make 
Their choices 
I have heard it said
Maybe that's the truth 
Or maybe not
When you're lying 
In this clover 
With a bullet 
In your heart
Tell me what 
It really matters 
When the shooter 
Finds the mark

One who knows the score
Who's walked 
Through the doors of heaven
One who's been around
One who's fallen down 
And learned to fly again
