written by Judee Sill 1972 EMI Blackwood Music BMI. Sweet silver angels over the sea. Please come down flying low for me. One time I trusted a stranger. 'Cause I heard his sweet song. It was gently enticing me. But there was something wrong. And when I turned. He was gone. Blinding me. His song remains reminding me. He's a bandit and a heartbreaker. My Jesus was a cross maker. Sweet silver angels over the sea. Please come down flying low for me. He wages war with the devil. With a pistol by His side. He's always chasing him out of windows. And He won't give him a place to hide. But he keeps His door. Open wide. Fighting him. He lights a lamp inviting him. He's a bandit and a heartbreaker. My Jesus was a cross maker. Yeah Jesus was a cross maker. (here's a verse Ms. Sill wrote which Warren leaves out:. maybe he thought he had enough thunder on this record already:. I heard the thunder come rumblin'. The light never looked so dim. I see the junction git nearer. and danger is in the wind. And either road's lookin' grim. Hidin' me I flee desire dividin' me. He's a bandit and a heartbreaker.. Oh but Jesus was a cross maker. Yes Jesus was a cross maker).
