angel of mercy

Mark Knopfler

Well theres a peter pan moon, shepherds delight
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised
Angel of mercy youll come to no harm
Angel of mercy, theres no need for alarm
The knight in his armour wants a night in your arms
You know hes honest

Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Sweet angel

Well now its too late for talkin, we can talk later on
Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of dawn
And I need is a little oblivion, you dont need protection
Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed
Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head
I dont want your money, I want you instead
Dont need rejection yeah

Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
Well, if you cross your heart
And spit and swear upon the grave of your mother
You gotta get into it, you gotta tell me that Im more than
a lover

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
