theres a tattoo on my shoulder                                  
telling me where life has led                            
a form of an angel dressed as a lady                           
curly hair and a flowing dress both colored in red       
as pure as the snow falling on the lake                   
are the thoughts within her head
 
faithful as the cross hanging on her skin
she wanted nothing from life but a smile
to find love and the beauty within
and to wander through the trees for awhile

she started serving drinks at the corner bar
a dingie little place with an angels face
talking and drinking with music on the box
heard every story about rainbows they chased

got a little house and a yellow car
spring led to summer as we walked in the dew
fall led to winter,we made angels in the snow
early that spring my angel flew

a million days passed, i've grown older
i can't get that angel outta my head
the nights are much colder, the trees are all gone
all i have left is this ink on my shoulder

faithful as the cross hanging on her skin
she wanted nothing from life but a smile
and to find love and the beauty within
and to wander through the trees for awhile

theres a tattoo on my shoulder 
telling me where life has led
a form of an angel dressed as a lady
curly hair, flowing dress both colored in red
as pure as the snow falling on the lake
are the thoughts within her head
