Hi Everyone….This week was definitely a challenge I did not expect to complete. However, Friday night I listened to the songs listed in the challenge and read up on Christina Ricci’s role in Lizzie Borden Took an Ax movie. I was fascinated with this story. I also researched 19th Century Dexter. I attempted to put pen to paper, and “Gray Angel” was a title that seem to fit. I had fun writing this song…..As usual I self-recorded it to the best of my ability, no production or extra instruments available to me. I had a hard time trying to not sing the song to fast, so to keep with the challenge fit. Also, the bridge was slipped in the last minute, still wasn’t sure if it fit or not. However it seemed missing if not there.
Here is my link to Week 5 submission:

Gray Angel
(by Bev Allen)
V1
Call me your angel, pure and white as snow
Faith in us I don’t know
I wanna believe I’m safe in your arms
Shine like a diamond, like the stars
But this white is fading dark
Can’t help my change of heart
These doubts, my fears, my pain
My guards up once again
Chorus
I will be your gray angel
I will be your gray angel
The perfect white you long to feel
The darkest dark I conceal
I will be your gray angel
I will be your gray angel
V2
Call me your angel, dark as night
Alone and lost, I run to hide
You wear your love upon your sleeve
As I ride out a fantasy
But the darkness fades to white
Something feels so right
I fight to not restrain
My guards back down again
Chorus
Bridge
Safe in the shade but I see your light
Gambling with my heart but it ain’t right
Chorus
