Gone With Angels
Shaggy · Clothes Drop [2005]
Don't ignore the signs, that's right
You be her teacher, taking
Shivering, she awakes in the cold sweat
Terrified so she speaks under her breathe
Makes a fake cry for help, she's a real mess
That's the sign of the stress, ma, listen to her
Heartbeats working overtime in her chest
Scared stiff from approaching footsteps
Ignoring the stains on her torn dress
Come now ma, listen to her
How could you put your own child in danger?
And turn around and take the words of a stranger
You didn't wanna face the facts so you blamed her
Too late ma, you should have listened to her
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
She's fading like a delicate flower
Try to wash away the shame in the shower
Defending him left her feeling overpowered
You were wrong ma, you didn't listen to her
It was there in the words of the letter
Had you read it maybe things would be better
You let her down and I won't let you forget her
Save ya tears ma, you should have listened to her
How could you put your own child in danger?
And turn around and take the words of a stranger
You didn't wanna face the facts so you blamed her
Save ya tears ma, you didn't listen to her
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
Why day, why day
Why day, why day
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
Gone, she's asleep, finally, she's at peace
With the angels
Gone, out of reach, finally, souls in peace
With the angels
Gone With Angels
Shaggy's 'Gone With Angels' stands as a defining track from his 2005 album 'Clothes Drop,' showcasing his signature blend of reggae-infused pop and dancehall rhythms. Released during a period where the artist continued to evolve his sound beyond the dancefloor hits of the early 2000s, the song features his characteristic laid-back vocal delivery and melodic sensibility. While not a chart-topping single like 'Boombastic' or 'It Wasn't Me,' the recording reflects his commitment to maintaining a distinct Caribbean musical identity within the mainstream pop landscape. The track serves as a testament to his ability to craft atmospheric, groove-oriented music that resonates with fans who appreciate the organic flow of his earlier work.
