I woke alone today For all the birds have flown Inside this empty house Which no longer feels like home No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall I woke alone today Amidst life's killing fields of war This door of memories Closed forevermore No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall No angel of mercy Is gonna hear my call, Lord, no No angel of mercy To dry the tears that shall not fall

When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your Shattered dreams, And all you can do is scream Long ago you spoke the words of heresy Twenty years of running brings back memories All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied Beyond My inner dreams "Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies" I remember the words, i can never forget your demise And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade Should have seen it coming When you rolled the dice Deeper and deeper, falling, Away from your paradise Innocent eyes observing the crimson skies, Awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet the unforgiving blade And now your world's falling down And as your soul's falling down Unforgiving Unforgiving blade

(Chapin Hartford/Jim McBride) Heaven knows where I'd be now If you had not found me On that road that takes a man To places he's not meant to be. I wasn't ready for the touch That turned my life around Now I'm helpless in your hands It's love that ties me down. Angel of no mercy Girl you take my breath away And it feels so good it hurts me To think that you might fly away Can't you see that I've surrendered You stole this old heart blind You're an angel of no mercy But I don't mind. Ain't it strange how love can take A heart that's hard as steel Hold it tightly in the fire And teach that cold heart how to feel. Touch me now, I'm still not sure You're truly flesh and bone Heaven knows you can't be from This world that I live on. Angel of no mercy Girl you take my breath away And it feels so good it hurts me To think that you might fly away Can't you see that I've surrendered You stole this old heart blind You're an angel of no mercy But I don't mind.

She won't drive a Cadillac unless it's new She says gold is just a place to put my jewel I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes This livin' easy's getting hard to do My daddy said never spend more than you make And that advice I've always tried to take 'Til the day you walked into the room Now livin' easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm trying Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a million in the bank but you need two Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues This livin easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm tryin' Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a tombstone in the back yard one day Hand carved under my name it will say Here lies a man who found out far too soon This livin' easy's gotten way too hard to do 'Til the day that you walked into the room This livin easy's getting hard to do
