Angel Of The Blues Lyrics - Honky Tonk - Son Volt

Drifting and turned, double edge dance 

Hearts burn with the wind to find their way 

Words that connect, never gain enough traction 

Thus forever blown astray 

[Chorus] 

And there was never any doubt 

Plans to make carried out 

Time keeps slipping through 

Angel of the blues 

Medicine and blood, all the strands that collide 

Pour down lessons of youth 

A ghost to believe in, bolts and bone to survive 

Outbound tells burden of truth 

[Chorus] 

The Mississippi river, magnetic engines roar 

Sad songs keep the devil away 

Chances are it's a given 

That it was time all along 

Miles keep knocking at the door 

[Chorus]
