Look Homeward Angel Lyrics

Lari White

(Chuck Cannon/Allen Shamblin)

You left us here, in a cloud of stardust
Disappeared, never even called us
And most of us, got over you
But baby as for me, I never quite recovered
Every night I dream about you
It's killing me to live without you
Baby do you ever dream of me

Look homeward angel
Your heart knows the way
Down a rearview mirror road that leads to yesterday
I'm leaving a light on
Won't you look homeward angel

Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms and rest your weary wings
Before you're too far gone
Won't you look homeward angel

On nights like this, do you remember
Midnight kisses sweet and tender
And dancing under southern stars
Summer of '83, I never quite recovered
Oh, you played guitar and sang love songs to me
The memory still goes right through me
Angel ain't there one more song for me

Look homeward angel
Your heart knows the way
Down a rearview mirror road that leads to yesterday
I'm leaving a light on
Won't you look homeward angel

Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms and rest your weary wings
Before you're too far gone
Won't you look homeward angel

Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms and rest your weary wings
Before you're too far gone
Won't you look homeward angel

Oh, before you're too far gone
Won't you look homeward angel
Oh, look home, look homeward angel
Won't you look homeward angel
Look homeward angel, look home
Look home, look homeward angel
