The Angel's breath is cold and silent
It cut's my flesh like razor wire
Then fades away on the distant horizon
And the pain that's left is my desire
It tears my body limb from limb
Pulling at my malignant heart
Any sign of hope has gotten dim
Any thoughts of you just fell apart
And through the valley I walk alone
On the ashes once my memory
Tired and weary rambler's bones
On the coattails of a man I couldn't be.
It cut's my flesh like razor wire
Then fades away on the distant horizon
And the pain that's left is my desire
It tears my body limb from limb
Pulling at my malignant heart
Any sign of hope has gotten dim
Any thoughts of you just fell apart
And through the valley I walk alone
On the ashes once my memory
Tired and weary rambler's bones
On the coattails of a man I couldn't be.
