Begging round the sun beaten streets

I can't make me no connections

Locals here no speak no English

Where is my woman, well no one knows

Ah well, some girls just have to leave in the night

While you're fast asleep

But I don't worry, I move in the dark

There were lights, there were border lights

I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing

I saw the light, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there



I woke in some hotel room

I could hardly remember my name

They were only sixteen years old

I felt so lonely, I felt so ashamed



I know sometimes I just have to leave

In the night, while you're fast asleep

But I don't worry, I move in the dark

There were lights, there were border lights

I thought I heard that drum in the distance playing

I turned around, I crossed my heart and beat angels were there



Don't you wonder where one goes wrong

Is it somewhere in a foreign rain?

We're sitting out the storm

Every lamplight in town

Man don't know when he's got it his grace

Till beat angels come and take her away, beat angels, beat angels

Well I crossed my heart and beat angels were there, beat angels
