about

Written in 2015
I gave myself an assignment to write a murder ballad type song…

lyrics

She used to wrestle with the night
Her hair a mess of curls
She tried to stop you know she was not like other girls
The homeboys on the corner yell
She hears them from afar
When they call she answers back
She really like to spar
Come back my fallen angel to where you used to be
The earth still spins we’ll shed our skins
Let go our history
Her life that year no longer moved in rhythm with the day
The echoes of her feet on stone as the sunset slipped away
She went inside those homes at night to houses rich or bare
Mostly comfort she did give to the men that she met there
Come back my fallen angel to where you used to be
The earth still spins we’ll shed our skins
Let go our history
Come back come back they all did cry
We’ll give you what you need
She tossed her hair and turned away
Didn’t listen to their pleas
The hand came down she did not see
And cut her to the core
In the night one echo less she walks the streets no more
Come back my fallen angel to where you used to be
The earth still spins we’ll shed our skins
Let go our history
