Alabama 3 - The Moon Has Lost The Sun lyrics

(Every time I manage to get one more breath into this body I will sing a song of thanks to you my brothers, my sisters, my friends May your sleep be peaceful, and angels sing sweetly in your ears I got to be an angel one night) He puts his shooter in the boot Got a whiskey at the wheel Drivin too fast down the avenue Cased in the joints of the bourgeoisie Too stoned on a tight band Was too drunk to respond The devil robbed your pockets While you were lyin' dyin' I hope the angels held you in their arms 'Cause when heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth (I got to be an angel) On and on you left the dance We all know how good that feels Walkin home down on lovers lane Sweet mornin' dew at your feet, yeah The devil's been a'drinkin The driver hits and runs I pray your soul flew swiftly 'Cause the light don't shine since you've been gone The moon has lost the sun When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth Now the moon has lost the sun You found yourself in a new reality Different people, different personalities Just when she's thrown up the dust isn't gone Another loner came along They lead deeper lives And they criticize You didn't realize You didn't care what you knew Blacken their eye Sold the chance if you had to change Dealt with the pain with straight back their hair back You got right back girl You better hear it You never had to separate the hands of someone Who will never yearn for truth 'Cause you're an angel See how bright you burn You better learn You never had to separate the hands of someone Who will never yearn for truth 'Cause you're an angel When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth When heaven took you home, baby, you left hell on this earth When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth Now the moon has lost the sun When heaven took you home, you left hell on this earth Now the moon has lost the sun
