Misguided Angel Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies

Misguided Angel

I said mama, hes crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side
Though hes wild and hes bad
And sometimes just plain mad
I need him to keep me satisfied

I said papa, dont cry cause its alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
Ill love him the rest of my days

Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead

I said brother, you speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothing less
Well, its in the way he walks,
Its in the way he talks
His smile, his anger and his kisses

I said sister, dont you understand?
Hes all I ever wanted in a man
Im tired of sittin around the t.v. every night
Hoping Im finding a mr. right

Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead

He says baby, dont listen to what they say
There comes a time when you have to break away
He says baby there are things we all cling to all our life
Its time to let them go and become my wife

Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead
