Name: Like a Fallen Angel
Duration: P00H04M54S
Description: One of the band's earliest compositions also has one of the catchiest hooks. A hummable guitar groove and harmony-laden chorus suddenly shift into a lovely classical acoustic guitar harmony and tapped electric guitar solo. "Angel" is right at home in the catchy head banging commercial hard rock of the 80s.

lyrics

"Like a Fallen Angel"
Andrew McKnight, ©1984, Catalooch Music BMI

A hand upon her shoulders, a favor for a friend,
a time a place a passion, two hearts beating fast,
no no my dear don't worry, it's love you feel inside,
but when you wake in the morning, don't try to run and hide,
it's not like a fever, it's only hunger of your heart,
a feeling deep inside you can’t ignore,

Chorus
Like a fallen angel, she stares up at the sky
like a fallen angel, no time to reason why, no time to reason why

Oh mama tried to tell you, the one with bedroom eyes,
living on the red line, moving faster all the time,
the boys that always watch you, the girls who lead them on,
a mark up on the scoreboard, but the loser's left behind,
a heart is meant for breaking, on the first try of your life,
a feeling deep inside you can't ignore
