Black Tar Roses - Might Have Been Some Angel Lyrics

The night is cold, it cuts like a knife
And the air is thick with the wreak of desperation
The air is thick with the wreak of desperation
Old man you're talking to me but I don't listen to you
I'm young, a fool, my tongue's too loose
I don't listen to you, I'm young, a fool, my tongue's too loose

He turned his gaze to me and a fragile mortality burned deep from within his eyes
A fragile mortality burned deep from within his eyes
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel
Hey hey, he could have been some angel
My fate, he could see was standing in the shadows
Like vultures in a bad disguise
Standing in the shadows like vultures in a bad disguise
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel
Hey hey, he could have been some angel
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel

He trembled with regret for dancing with the devil
Deep, forever in his debt
Dancing with the devil, deep, forever in his debt
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel
Hey hey, he could have been some angel
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel

Old man I should heed your counsel but it's no good to me
My destiny's been set, I will never be free
It's no good to me, my destiny's been set, I will never be free
It's no good to me, my destiny's been set, I will never be free
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel
Hey hey, he could have been some angel
Hey hey, he might just have been some angel

His lasting words to me were to "Think about your fate
You can't unring a bell"
"Think about your fate you can't unring a bell"
"Think about your fate you can't unring a bell"
"Think about your fate you can't unring a bell"
