Fallen Angel
Nazareth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you never been no where
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you've ever been lonely
Take the word of a fallen angel
You know you're not the first to fall
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one who's gonna crash.
When you think you can't go on
Look around for a fallen angel
When you feel you're the lost one
Look around for a fallen angel
When you're hurtin' for someone
Look around for a fallen angel
You know you're not the first to fall
And you know you won't be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one who's gonna crash
Don't you think it's time to show
Don't you think it's time we know
What's in your heart
There's a lesson to be learned
Take the word of a fallen angel
There's a song for every heart
Take the word of a fallen angel
When you find out where you are
Don't you know you're a fallen angel
If you've never had no one.
