Angels Don't Fly

George Jones · Dispatches 1990-99: A Critical Collection [Raven] [2005]

Deep into midnight far from the warm light

Beneath the shadows of a cold crescent moon

I watched her leaving no shouting or screaming

Just the sound of our hearts as they fall out of tune



Angels don't fly they just walk out the door

I know cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor

You migh thtink I'm crazy but I know it's true

Angels don't fly they just walk out on you



Now I'm lost in my memories and smoky nights bring me

As close to the truth as any man should ever be

Seems the love that I gave her could never quite save her

From a wild, restless heart that just had to be free



Angels don't fly they just walk out the door

I know cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor

You might think I'm crazy but I know it's true

Angels don't fly they just walk out on you



Angels don't fly they just walk out on you
