Back - Door Angels Lyrics - Warchild - Jethro Tull

In and out of the front door, 

Ran twelve back-door angels. 

Their hair was a golden-brown 

They didn't see me wink my eye. 

'Tis said they put we men to sleep 

With just a whisper, 

And touch the heads of dying dogs 

And make them linger. 

They carry their candles high 

And they light the dark hours. 

And sweep all the country clean 

With pressed and scented wild-flowers.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They grow all their roses red, 

And paint our skies blue 

Drop one penny in every second bowl 

Make half the beggars lose, 

Why do the faithful have such a will 

To believe in something? 

And call it the name they choose, 

Having chosen nothing.

Think I'll sit down and invent some fool 

Some Grand Court Jester. 

And next time the die is cast, 

He'll throw a six or two. 

In and out of the back-door ran 

One front-door angel, 

Her hair was a golden-brown 

She smiled and I think she winked her eye.
