Misguided Angel

I recently found one of my favourite CDs: 200 More Miles. It has two of my favourite songs: If You Were the Woman, and I Was the Man, and Misguided Angel. (It's also on The Trinity Sessions, but that CD I can't fnd.) Misguided Angel is really fitting my current mood, so it's being replayed a lot. To tell you how much I like this song, it inspired my one and only 'song fic' :)

Of course, I'm going to share the lyrics with you. But this is one of those songs you really have to hear. (There's a clip of it on Amazon, here & here. One's in the studio, and one's live.)

Misguided Angel

Margo and Michael Timmins

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.
