Well come down from your church

And talk to a man

Who knows that he loves you

And wants to understand

He knows why you cry



When you were young

You got down on your knees

You prayed for someone

Someone you could believe

Yeah, you put your faith

Right in his hands

Oh, when he let go

You couldnt understand



Welcome down from your church

And talk to a man

Who knows that he loves you

And wants to understand

He knows why you cry



Fallen angel, temptation had you lost

Single girl, youve been double-crossed

Hold on holy one, some day youll be saved

And i want to be the one

On that blessed day

When you come down from your church

And talk to a man

Who knows that he loves you

And wants to understand

Fly down from your perch

And walk with a man

Who knows how to love you

Yes, i believe i can

I know why you cry
