MERRILEE RUSH - ANGEL OF THE MORNING

Merrilee Rush

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
not if my love can't bind your heart.
And there's no need to take a stand
for it was I who chose to start.
I see no reason to take me home,
I'm old enough to face the dawn.

Just call me angel of the morning, ANGEL
just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, ANGEL
then slowly turn away from me.

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
and it won't matter anyhow.
If morning's echo says we've sinned,
well, it was what I wanted now.
And if we're the victims of the night,
I won't be blinded by light.

Just call me angel of the morning, ANGEL
just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, ANGEL
then slowly turn away,
I won't beg you to stay with me
through the tears
of the day,
of the years,
baby baby.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning, ANGEL
just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.

MERRILEE RUSH - WIKIPEDIA Y TEMAS

Merrilee Rush

Rush was born in Seattle, Washington. As a girl, she studied the classical piano for 10 years. In 1960, Rush auditioned for a band (directed by her first husband) that played sock hops. Next, she was part of Merrilee and Her Men, doing covers of male pop hits. Then she joined a Seattle rhythm and blues group called Tiny Tony and the Statics.

The band "Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts" was formed in 1965. One of the group's roadies worked for Paul Revere and the Raiders, which was doing a tour in the south states in 1967, and they invited Rush to be their opening act.
