Lyrics
Halo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing up above and looking below
I know you thought you seen a halo
Getting down below what I've shown
You'll see just what I've known
It's one more hour 'til daybreak
I know I've had all I can take
I heard a secret that I can't shake
One wing at an iron gate
Jailbird half awake
Well I can't say there's nothing wrong here
with me, with me
She's one step over and one mile older
without me, without me
Devil in a white suit talking to me
He says I've got a heart full of kerosene
Says he keeps seeing me in the same dream
In the web of an old heartstring
That's breaking
Now down on my knees at the old tree
I brought this rabbit's foot with me
Faith is the noose in rope I've tied to me
In the tree that I've climbed, to be
Cut loose and set free
Well I can't say there is nothing wrong here
with me, with me
She's one step over and one mile older
without me, without me
Now standing up above and looking below
I know you thought you seen a halo
Getting down below what I've shown
You'll see just what I've known
A ring of fire and a rainbow
Well I can't say there is nothing wrong here
with me, with me
She's one step over and one mile older
without me, without me
She's one step over and one mile older
without me, without me
