TARNISHED ANGEL words and music by: Dom Franco
Copyright (c.) 1975

This song was written for prodigal sons and daughters
who once professed faith in the Lord, but now have
lost their way. It is presented in the sincere hope that
they would reconsider the love and sacrifice of JESUS,
turn from sin and rejoin the family of God.

lyrics

LYRICS:
I remember you leading me through the darkness
to the light, and your life was much sweeter then
because your heart was really right.

Something's keeping you from walking, it's holding
on to your shoe. Don't you know I'll keep following
HIM even if that means leaving you.

Tarnished Angel, why don't you brush off your wings and fly?
Tarnished Angel, ya know you'll never know until you try.

You can keep on running, but you're headed the wrong way.
And you ain't never getting nowhere, because this world's
gonna make you pay.

Something's keeping you from flying, it's holding you on the ground.
Don't you know when the cold wind blows pretty flowers
shouldn't stick around.

Tarnished Angel, why don't you brush off your wings and fly?
Tarnished Angel, ya know you'll never know until you try.

You gave your heart to Jesus or at least that's what you say,
And now you're trying to take it back, well it just don't work
that way.

You see He'll always love you, no matter what you do.
And even when you walk away He is standing right next to you.

Tarnished Angel, why don't you brush off your wings and fly?
Tarnished Angel, ya know you'll never know until you try.

Tarnished Angel, why don't you give all your love to Him?
Tarnished Angel, Just fly away from your life of sin.
