She's a hoarse angel,
She's got nothing left to say,
She tried her best to help you,
You just sighed and walked away.

She's a hoarse angel,
She's got time enough to spare.
Saw her reaching for you,
But there wasn't nothing there.

She's a hoarse angel,
She's got the silence in her eyes.
Though you're the one that's bleedin'
She's the only one that cries.

BRIDGE

When you were a young man,
You could hear her soft and clear,
How much practice did it take you,
To make the voice of truth just disappear?

She's a hoarse angel,
Might be trying to save your soul.
You stay on that lonely road,
I guess you're never gonna know.

Oh, hoarse angel
won't you whisper me home?
