Talking To My Angel

Melissa Etheridge · Yes I Am [1993]

Don't be afraid, close your eyes

Lay it all down, don't you cry

Can't you see I'm going where I can see the sun rise

I've been talking to my angel, and he said that it's alright



I've always had to run, I don't know just why

A desire slowly smoking under the midwest sky

There's something waiting out there that says I've got to try

I've been talking to my angel, and he said that it's alright



This town thinks I'm crazy, they just think I'm strange

Sometimes they want to own me

Sometimes they wish I'd change

But I can feel the thunder underneath my feet

Well, I sold my soul for freedom, it's lonely but it's sweet



Don't be afraid, close your eyes

Lay it all down, don't you cry

Can't you see I'm going where I can see the sun rise

I've been talking to my angel, and he said that it's alright
