A letra:
Well
there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight
I got the dragon at
noon, yes and I won the fight
Now I want my reward in heaven
tonight, just like you promised
Angel of Mercy, you'll come to no
harm
Angel of Mercy, there's no need for alarm
The knight in
his armour wants a night in your arms
You know he's honest
Angel
of Mercy, angel delight
Give me my reward in Heaven tonight
And
if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy
give me Heaven tonight
Well now it's too late for talking we
can talk later on
Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of
dawn
And all I need is a little oblivion, you don't need
protection
Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed
Angel
of mercy let your heart rule your head
I don't want your money, I
want you instead
Don't need rejection yeah
Angel of Mercy,
angel delight
Give me my reward in Heaven tonight
And if I give
up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me
Heaven tonight
Well if you cross your heart
And spit and
swear upon the grave of your mother
You got to get into it, you
gotta tell me that I'm more than a lover
Angel of Mercy, angel
delight
Give me my reward in Heaven tonight
And if I give up my
sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy give me Heaven
tonight
Yeah, angel of Mercy, angel delight
Give me my
reward in Heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, won't you give
me the right
Angel of Mercy give me Heaven tonight
Angel of
Mercy, angel delight
Give me my reward in Heaven tonight
And if
I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
Angel of Mercy
give me Heaven tonight
Hey, angel of mercy
Help me
baby
Angel of mercy
