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."
