Fallen Angel… Fallen Angel…
Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin’ round expectin’ you to be there
I keep seein’ our past through my looking glass
But fallen angel where are you now

After all these years I remember the tears
As we parted you said don’t forget me
You were ridin’ so high now they’re passin’ you by
Girl I never forgot you please come and get me

Livin’ without you is hard enough anyway
But knowin’ you’re hurtin’ makes it so much worse every day
I just wanna love you
Any way that I can
But watchin’ you cry wasn’t part of my plan

Fallen Angel… Fallen Angel…
Tell me how did it feel in your promised land
That you chose as your pain and your pleasure
A temporary sanctuary
Oh fallen angel I am you real treasure
Fallen Angel… Fallen Angel…
