Lyrics

My first name--angelene
Prettiest mess you ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls, I'll let him in

Rose is my colour, and white
Pretty mouth--green my eyes
I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul and come to me

Two-thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two-thousand miles away
It lays open like a road

Dear god, life ain't kind
People gettin' born and dyin'
But I've heard there's joy untold
It lays open like a road in front of me

Two-thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two-thousand miles away
Lays open like a road

It seems so far away
I see men come and go
Two-thousand miles until
I reach that open road

My first name's angelene..
