She Walks with the Angels

Written by Rick Springfield

I know your story morning glory life was swinging, everything was groovy
Your future bright, love and light, then winter hit like a cyclone through me
You bowed and disappeared waiting for the axe to fall
As loud as we all cheered you never took the curtain call
Dolly back, fade to black don't want to say it, but I've seen this movie

Yeah, yeah she walks with the angels tonight, in diamond shoes
She talks to strangers she might, they can't refuse
Juke box in the dance halls ignite she lights the fuse
She walks with the angels
She walks with the angels

Came the day the floor gave way you said you're standing in the firing line
Rockets falling battle calling "no shelter" said the warning sign
I know we played it down, claiming you were bulletproof
You wore it like a crown, shouting secrets from the roof
Give all I have to hear you laugh at your own jokes Sunny one last time

Yeah, yeah she walks with the angels tonight, in diamond shoes
She talks to strangers she might, they can't refuse
Juke box in the dance halls ignite she lights the fuse
She walks with the angels
She walks with the angels

One week out of Providence, you finally got the call
We used to joke about the joys of Propofol
I said goodbye and then I waited in the hall
God knows I have to start learning how to crawl

She walks with the angels, I know it's true
She walks with the angels I see her too
She walks with the angels my sacrifice
She walks with the angels into the afterlife

She walks with the angels tonight, in diamond shoes
She talks to strangers she might, they can't refuse
Juke box in the dance halls ignite she lights the fuse
She walks with the angels
She walks with the angels

She walks with the angels

Yeah yeah
She walks with the angels
Yeah yeah
She walks with the angels
Yeah yeah
She walks with the angels

Rick says: Matty Spindel, soundman extraordinaire and friend for 25 years passed away a few weeks before I wrote this song for him. I used the feminine because he was very in touch with that side of himself. There are secret references all through the song that are "very Matty".- The Rockpit.net
