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 comin'

He said, "this is my last fight

If they take me back to Texas

They won't take me back alive"

There were seven Spanish angels

At the altar of the sun

They were prayin' 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 smokin' in his hand

She said, "Father, please forgive me

I can't make it without my man"

And she knew the gun was empty

And she knew she couldn't win

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again

There were seven Spanish angels

At the altar of the sun

They were prayin' 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

Change was an Italian-American post-disco group formed in Bologna, Italy in 1979 by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus (1949–1986) and Mauro Malavasi (1957). They were heavily influenced by legendary disco band Chic.

Change was initially formed in 1979 as a studio-band with a revolving cast of musicians, led by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus, with the majority of song-writing and production carried out by Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani. The band’s dual Italian and American identity was a result of a production system in which the music, excepting the vocals, were written and recorded by Italian collaborators in studios such as Fontoprint Studios, Bologna, Italy. The backing tracks were then taken to the USA where vocals were added by American performers, before being mixed into finalised versions in major studios such as the Power Station in New York City.

Words don't come so easily to me

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

Somehow I get along

Sometimes I'm mistaken

And believe me I am achin' from the times

I'm wrong within my song

But every time you're near

The words come out so neat and clear, and

You'll make some changes in me, let me tell you what I see

Changes in me

I know that you're not perfect

And I don't expect that kind of scene

You know just what I mean

I know sometimes you're walkin' and you're talkin'

You seem to get off the track

You most always get right back

It's only when you doubt yourself

That you get misplaced on your shelf

Just make your changes and see

You'll make some changes in me

You got the power and the reason for the rhyme

So lay it down I'll pick it up

And I'll put it in my mi-hi-hi-hind

Sometimes words don't make it so I'll play

So now I've sung my song

To you, I hope you enter but it's true

Sometimes I fall along the way

But then night always turns to day

You sing your song, I'll sing mine

And if they intertwine it's mighty good

If they don't it's understood, it's understood

You'll make some changes in me, let me tell you what I see

Changes in me

You got the power and the reason for the rhyme

So lay it down I'll pick it up

And I'll put it in my mi-hi-hi

Hi-hi-hind, hi-hi-hind

Baby you hurt me

and i know that i've hurt you

We've both promised

to always be true

We'd let our love

get lost in the rain

Now we are waiting

Oh for love to live again

Holding on

To what was before

Oh lord i see

Why did we have to let it go

Now the only thing

That i know

The only thing

That i think i'd know

When the hurt is over

Lord, maybe love will flow

Trying to do

What we know we must

When you love somebody

You know you got to trust

I think about it

again and again

I say that i will baby

Oh but i don't know if i can

You say you're sorry

Oh i say i am too

then we turn round and round

then again we'd be untrue

that is why, that is why, the only thing

that i know

the only thing baby

that i know

when the hurt is over, baby

maybe love will flow

Guess by chance

We'd work things out

we both will know

what love is all about

don't move so quickly

Oh it don't move too fast

if you got a good love

Oh you ought to try to make it last

 i know i hurt you

lord you broke my heart

and now we are sad baby

because our love is apart

that is why i say to you, the only thing

that i know

the only thing baby, i think i know

Oh baby

When the hurt is over

Lord maybe love will flow

I said when the hurt is over, baby

And all the pain is gone

Maybe i will learn how to love again y'all

When the hurt is over, over

Lord when all the pain is gone

Baby did a bad bad thing baby did a bad bad thing.

Baby did a bad bad thing baby did a bad bad thing.

You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?

I didn't think so.

You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get you lover back to you?

I want to hope so.

You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch her walk away?

Baby did a bad bad thing baby did a bad bad thing.

Baby did a bad bad thing, feel like crying, feel like crying.

You ever toss and turn your lying awake and thinking about the one you love?

I don't think so.

You ever close your eyes your making believe your holding the one your dreaming of?

Well if you say so.

I hurts so bad when you finally know just how low, low, low, low, low, she'll go.

Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.

Baby did a bad bad thing, feel like crying, feel like crying.

Oh. Feel like crying, feel like crying.

Oh, feel like crying, feel like crying.

Baby did a bad bad thing, baby did a bad bad thing.
