iris dement – infamous angel lyrics
last night before i went to sleep,
my knees dropped to the floor.
i turned me eyes up to the sky,
and i prayed: “please help me, lord.
“you know i’ve sowed my wild oats,
“and now the fun’s all gone.”
and then i heard these tender words,
and i put them in my song:
“infamous angel, come on home,
“to someone who loves you,
“and knows you needed to roam.
“grab your things, a ticket’s waiting,
“at the bus depot:
“for: ‘infamous angel, destination: home’.”
i heard heaven’s choir rejoicing,
as the tears broke from my eyes.
and all at once it lifted,
the weight from my past life.
i found a pen and i left a note,
on the dresser drawer:
“infamous angel: she don’t live here anymore.”
“infamous angel, come on home,
“to someone who loves you,
“and knows you needed to roam.
“grab your things, a ticket’s waiting,
“at the bus depot:
“for: ‘infamous angel, destination: home’.”
instrumental break.
then i hurried out the back door,
as quickly as i could.
i went flying down two flights of stairs,
’til on the street i stood.
and there i took that final look,
at my old neighbourhood.
then i ran down the street proclaiming:
“angel: gone for good.”
infamous angel, going home,
to someone who loves her,
and knows she needed to roam.
she grabbed her things and claimed the ticket,
at the bus depot:
for: “infamous angel, destination: home.”
“infamous angel, destination: home.”
