Angel From Montgomery lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


[Verse 1]
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
And lightning was desire
This old house would've burned down
A long time ago

[Chorus]
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

[Verse 2]
When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
That was a long time
And no matter how I tried
The years just flow by
Like a broken down dam
[Chorus]
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

[Verse 3]
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear all their buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothing to say

[Chorus]
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
