ANGEL OF THE MORNING

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose a start
I see no reason to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning – angel!
Just touch my cheek before you leave me – darling!
Just call me angel of the morning – angel!
Then slowly turn away from me.

Maybe the sun's light will be dim and it won't matter anyhow.
If morning's echoe says we've sinned but it was what I wanted now.
And if we're victims of the night, I won't be blinded by the light.

Just call me angel of the morning – angel!
Just touch my cheek before you leave me – darling!
Just call me angel of the morning – angel!
Then slowly turn away I want beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day, of the years, turn away.
