an angel to guide you  
(Lawrence) 

It was ten years ago I last saw you
You were looking so young & so lost
Your black eyes were searching for something
In mine

Your boyfriend was standing beside you
You left him, forgetting the cost
You came to me, asking forgiveness
To find

 An angel to guide you
To take you away
An angel to guide you
To show the way

Your mother left you as a baby
Your father, he never was there
You were shipped off to live in a family
Who cared

They raised you and cooked up your breakfast
They gave you a room of your own
It’s a shame no one was ever
At home

(Chorus) 

Since you left I’d been searching to find you
To see what had come of your dreams
When I found in the back of the paper
Your name

It said you had died alone by your own hand
To get away from the police
They were coming for you and your powder
Your peace

 (Chorus)  

Why’d you have to go and walk away
Did somebody make you feel that way
I’d do anything to make you stay
Why’d you have to go and walk away
Away…

Now I’ve come all this way just to find you
Back from England where I make my home
I have come here now just to remind you
The love I had for you’s not gone  

Snow covers the place where they left you
And no flower or headstone is shown
So I’ve left you this porcelain angel
Your own

 (Chorus)
