Angels Would Fall Lyrics
Melissa Etheridge
The rope thats wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
Its better that way
So Ill come by and see you again
Ill be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
Theres no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
Ive crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
Ive dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So Ill come by and see you again
Ill be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
Ill come by and see you again
Ill have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
Ill just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
