Farewell Angelina Lyrics - Jeff Buckley

Farewell Angelina 

The bells of the crown 

Are being stolen by bandits 

I must follow the sound 

The triangle, tingles 

And the trumpets play slow 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is on fire 

And I must go 

There's no need for anger 

There's no need for blame 

There's nothing to prove 

Ev'rything's still the same 

Just a table standing empty 

By the edge of the sea 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is trembling 

And I must leave 

The jacks and the queens 

Have forsaked the courtyard 

Fifty-two gypsies 

Now file past the guards 

In the space where the deuce 

And the ace once ran wild 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is folding 

I'll see you in a while 

See the cross eyed pirates sitting 

Perched in the sun 

Shooting tin cans 

With a sawed off shotgun 

And the neighbors they clap 

And they cheer with each blast 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky's changing color 

And I must leave fast 

King Kong, little elves 

On the rooftops they dance 

Valentino, type tango's 

While the make up man's hands 

Shut the eyes of the dead 

Not to embarrass anyone 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is embarrassed 

And I must be gone 

The machine guns are roaring 

The puppets heave rocks 

The fiends nail time bombs 

To the hands of the clocks 

Call me any name you like 

I will never deny it 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is erupting 

I must go where it's quiet
