作词 : Ehmig, Ford | |
She runs through the streets so desperately young | |
Her eyes aflame and her mind undone | |
She aches for the songs that will never be sung | |
And the heroes so quickly forgotten | |
She sees a friend in the church yard light | |
Laughin' and jokin' and talkin' to the sky | |
Shots ring out and he hits the ground | |
He never opens his eyes and she cries | |
Heaven is closed to the angels below | |
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow | |
God only knows what happens to love | |
When the innocence is gone | |
And the war of the angels has begun | |
The ghosts in her head have faces and names | |
They're soldiers and children, all one in the same | |
In the streets and the alleys, hear the battle cries sound | |
And the angels run for cover as the world comes tumbling down | |
All through the night the battle is fought | |
They can never win back the lives they've lost | |
Down on her knees, in the tear stained dawn | |
She just closes her eyes, whispers goodbye | |
Heaven is closed to the angels below | |
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow | |
God only knows what happens to love | |
When the innocence is gone | |
And the war of the angels is never won | |
Another day in the neighborhood | |
Better dry your eyes and be off to school | |
She packs her lunch and her daddy's gun | |
Seems much too old to be so young | |
The battle begins the day that you're born | |
Into this world, so heartsick and war torn | |
Somebody better come and carry her away | |
Maybe this angel will live to fly again someday | |
Heaven is closed to the angels below | |
Streets of gold are now paved with sorrow | |
God only knows what happens to love | |
When the innocence is gone | |
And the war of the angels rages on | |
Rages on, oh, yeah, yeah |
