Songtexte Seven Spanish Angels - Live at The Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA - April 30, 2023 - Norah Jones , Allison Russell

He looked down into her brown eyes
And said, "Say a prayer for me"
She threw her arms around him
Whispered, "God will keep us free"

They could hear the riders coming
He said, "This is my last fight
If they take me back to Texas
They won't take me back alive"

And there were Seven Spanish Angels
At the Altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And Seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home

She reached down and picked the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand
She said, "Father, please forgive me
I can't make it without my man"

She knew the gun was empty
And she knew she couldn't win
But a final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again

And there were Seven Spanish Angels
At the Altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And Seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home

There were Seven Spanish Angels
At the Altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And Seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home

There were Seven Spanish Angels
At the Altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun (Well, well, well)
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And Seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home

Seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home
