Cry Like an Angel

The streets of my town are not what they were They are haloed in anger, bitter and hurt And it's not so you'd notice but it's a sinister thing Like the wheels of ambition at the christening So I went out walking on the streets of the dead With a chip on my shoulder And a voice in my head It said you have been brought here Though you don't know what for Well the mystery train is coming right to your door And I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud You can run all night but we can take you where You can cry like an angel There were high school night dances When we played stump the band We were raising each other In a strange land There were hard pills to swallow But we drank 'em all down Oh the nights were too short then And now they're a little too long I hear you calling and you don't have to call so loud I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud You can run all night but we can take you where You can shout out in anger You can laugh like a fool You can cry like an angel So look homeward baby Keep your eyes on the sky They will never forgive you So don't ask them to try This is your party, I know it's not your ideal May we all find salvation In professions that heal I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud You can run all night but we can take you where You can shout out an answer You can laugh like a fool You can call up to heaven We'll be listening to you You can sing hallelujah You can fly like a bird You can cry like angel When there are no words
