Angel at the Door
November 1, 1993
There she stood in the doorway
A scarlet, black and silver robe 'round her
At first I thought it was just the drug
But she shook her head no
Then she reached out her hand And she led me away Oh but I had so much left to do, I had so much to say
And if you're callin' me No I won't be home And if you're callin' me No I can't come home
Cause I - yes I've seen your face before Oh I - I know you're the angel at the door
There I lay in the jungle heat Amidst the flies and the stench of death I was bleeding hard yet still alive Heard a faint whisper-her icy breath
She said now you're gonna be just fine Though soon I'll come back again And you can light your candles and bolt your door But I'm just gonna walk right in
And if you're callin' me No I won't be home And if you're callin' me No I can't come home
Oh cause I - yes I've seen your face before Oh I - I know you're the angel at the door
Then she reached out her hand And she led me away Oh but I had so much left to do, I had so much to say
And if you're callin' me No I won't be home And if you're callin' me No I can't come home
Cause I - yes I've seen your face before Oh I - I know you're the angel at the door
There I lay in the jungle heat Amidst the flies and the stench of death I was bleeding hard yet still alive Heard a faint whisper-her icy breath
She said now you're gonna be just fine Though soon I'll come back again And you can light your candles and bolt your door But I'm just gonna walk right in
And if you're callin' me No I won't be home And if you're callin' me No I can't come home
Oh cause I - yes I've seen your face before Oh I - I know you're the angel at the door
