STEVIE NICKS LYRICS - Street Angel

"Street Angel"



I've been walking under rainbows... too long to tell

You keep walking down mean streets...

My street angel

I try to bring you in... out of the cold

But street angels live on the street...

And they always will



Street angels aren't like anyone you know

They do what they want... and they go where they go

They may tell you

That you hold the world in your hands

But they always give it back...

(They always give it back)



[Chorus:]

No amount of crying... changes your mind

No amount of praying... brings you inside

I know that you love me...

And that you always will

You just stand outside and call to me...

My sweet street angel



A Charles Dickens character,

With your top hat and your scarf

When you pull me through the rainbow...

I thought you'd stop

But you didn't... you turned around...

You went back to the children... and your music...

And the people that you love



I can't help but wonder if...

Every once in a while... you remember the girl

When you were a homeless angel...

That drove you wild

Strange and elusive...



[Chorus:]

No amount of crying... changes your mind

No amount of praying... brings you inside

I know that you love me... and that you always will

You just stand outside and call to me...

My sweet street angel



[Solo]



So I ended it all... for the both of us

I fell down the stairs... a broken rag doll

But you never knew... you just thought I went away

With nothing more to hope for...

But you don't hear voices anymore

No... my sweet street angel
