Angel (Live) - John Hiatt
Written by：Hiatt John/John Hiatt
It is a hurting thing you don't wanna talk about it
Pain in your heart well it's taking your breath away
You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talking about
Love like this just don't come along every day
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go downtown
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down
They called you rookie in high school you didn't mind it too much
Kind of nice to have a nickname kind of like they thought about it
You wish that it stuck with you didn't have to trade it in on
Some crazy lover's pet name wind up hurting so much
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go downtown
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down
He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathing
You drew a breath you sighed the air was freezing
Two blood red hearts pumping hard out in the open
You skinned your knee at kickball twenty years ago against all hoping
Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel fruitcake
Tasting every spongy layer and licking frosting off the moon
Wild eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed
Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go downtown
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
Somebody just stopped calling you angel
