(Chapin Hartford/Jim McBride)



Heaven knows where I'd be now

If you had not found me

On that road that takes a man

To places he's not meant to be.



I wasn't ready for the touch

That turned my life around

Now I'm helpless in your hands

It's love that ties me down.



Angel of no mercy

Girl you take my breath away

And it feels so good it hurts me

To think that you might fly away

Can't you see that I've surrendered

You stole this old heart blind

You're an angel of no mercy

But I don't mind.



Ain't it strange how love can take

A heart that's hard as steel

Hold it tightly in the fire

And teach that cold heart how to feel.



Touch me now, I'm still not sure

You're truly flesh and bone

Heaven knows you can't be from

This world that I live on.



Angel of no mercy

Girl you take my breath away

And it feels so good it hurts me

To think that you might fly away

Can't you see that I've surrendered

You stole this old heart blind

You're an angel of no mercy

But I don't mind.
