Sleeping Angel

I'm testing out lyrics: These are old(ish) lyrics to an old(ish) song of mine that I think was originally scrambled together around late 2003. Since then they have been slightly re-written and also featured in my (current) favourite manuscript, "Rumour In The Truth".

I am hoping to - finally - write the music for it so I can actually create a song from it once and for all. Hopefully the new software I will soon acquire will at the very least be able to put down a rough-sketch demo of it, so my sound-engineer partner can create a "proper" piece for it. After waiting nearly a decade, I might actually be able to hear what it's supposed to sound like through my ears, and not just in my head.



~ Sleeping Angel ~

You just lie there, sleeping angel
Before you wake and walk right out my door
You just stand there, sitting angels
Let my life just pin me on the floor

I just leave you, single-minded
There ain’t nothing you can do to change my mind
And you’ll beg me, try to break me
But I’m not listening to a word you find

I don’t know you sitting there, looking right back at me
Nothing there but do or die

So cold, so dead, so right now baby
I won’t surrender to your smile
Can’t believe in what you said
Can’t believe you hate me
Nothing left but do or die

You just sit there, and I love you
Then you turn your back and break my heart
Devastate me, smiling angel
Beyond me, oh so near and yet so far

You’re just sitting there looking right back at me
Nothing left but do or die

So cold, so dead, so right now baby
I won’t surrender to your smile
Can’t believe in what you said
Can’t believe you hate me
Nothing left but do or die

My lie is yours
Sleeping angel behind closed doors
My broken heart can’t say goodbye
There nothing left here but do or die

So cold, so dead, so right now baby
I won’t surrender to your smile
Can’t believe in what you said
Can’t believe you hate me
Nothing left but do or die

So cold, so dead, so right now baby
I won’t surrender to your smile
Can’t believe in what you said
Can’t believe you hate me
Nothing left but do or die
