It Happened In This Town

(album: Behind Closed Doors - 1995)

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
Now you're gone, all the world can feel the pain
Like a light went out somewhere

Goodbye little angel, it's so hard to understand
What makes somebody do that ? What makes that kind of man?
But you're gone and things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie Cos our world isn't like this

It's too random to believe in, how could anyone concieve it?
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
But now you're gone, and things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I try I can't explain
Where's the sense in it all?

We cover our eyes cover our eyes cover our eyes
Cos we don't wanna see this
We hope it's a lie hope it's a lie hope it's a lie
Cos our world isn't like this

How could anybody do it? There's no rhyme or reason to it
It's so sad, but it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation, there's no reasoned explanation
Just the fact that it happened in this town
It really happened in this town
It's so sad, but it happened in this town

Goodbye little angel, so young and so sweet
So long little angel, taken so young from the street
