Fallen Angel

I must admit
You're not the angel you used to be
Although it grieves me
To tell you so
I know that deep in your heart
You still would like to be
Oh, how you'd like to be
What you were long ago
You'd spread your wings
And fly to the top of the sky
And sit demure, on a cloud so high
Sweet and pure for the world to spy

But I must admit
You're not the angel you used to be
You've managed to flop
A terrible flop

Fallen angel
You'll never lift a wing
You've lost that final fling
You've spoiled your worth

Fallen angel
That cloud that once held you
Has let you slip right through
You've dropped to the Earth

But still you hope
And yearn, and dream
And miss the days gone by
With lips that thrill
And burn and finally
Gain the yielding sigh

Poor fallen angel
The pain and strain of sin
Prevent your getting in
Where once you were a queen

You'll never rise
You'll never fly
You'll crawl down here
Until you die

But I just admit
You're not the angel you used to be
Stop looking for sympathy
You've fallen alone with me
