Street Advice Lyrics

Advice from a stranger
You should take with a grain of salt
But son, I ain't no stranger to that split tongue devil's talk
I can see in your expression
There's hurt behind that smile
And I've been in your shoes
I've walked every single mile

Dancing on the dark side
With a heavy cross to bear
Entertaining heaven-sent angels unaware
No matter where I went
I was completely incomplete
Only love can make bitter, bittersweet
Just advice from a stranger on the street

He didn't wear a halo
He had carpenter's hands
Said I'm here to build the pine box to lay your old life in
I couldn't help but listen
And I couldn't move an inch
More than gold and silver
I needed his two cents

Dancing on the dark side
With a heavy cross to bear
Entertaining heaven-sent angels unaware
No matter where I go
I'm completely incomplete
Hoping love can make bitter, bittersweet
I heard it from an angel on the street

Now the things I wanna do are the things I don't
Sometimes I say I will, then I say I won't
Caught between the woulda, coulda and the should
I'm trying to believe that He will work it out for good
Work it out for good

Dancing on the dark side
With a heavy cross to bear
Entertaining heaven-sent angels unaware
No matter where I go
I'm completely incomplete
Hoping love can make bitter, bittersweet
I heard it from an angel on the street

Heard it from an angel on the street
I heard it from an angel
