Rufus Wainwright Evil Angel lyrics

For to see my depth of sorrow
You are not allowed to follow me
Into this town square
And then run away

Evil angel with your cleft tongue
When you kissed me
On this town square
All the lights came on
At sunset thought you'd stay

Evil angel bearing apples
When you kissed me
On this drawbridge as the boats do
How was I to know you'd flee


Tear down these monuments
Bury the coat of arms
And build for me a factory

Evil angel when you're faced with
Hatred's daggers in my honor
You're no match no scratching hearts
That no longer bleed

Oh, evil angel tear down the monuments
Evil angel bury the coat of arms
And rebuild for me these memories
For to see my depth of sorrow
