This reminds me of the Johnny Cash number: "Put the Bottle on the Table" if only because of the common theme - the demon drink. That was a slow number, I sense that this will be taken at a faster place. If you have tunes for these and your other lyrics, why don't you post an audio clip with lyric post? On the other hand if you don't then you need to team up with a country music composer because your stuff is too good to remain unheard in the medium for which it was written.

We have an engaging voice presenting us with a beautiful, down-to-earth poem. He was also probably a philosopher in another life. Despite his human failings he determinedly hangs on to his positive stance as is personified by his woman. So in spite of the heartbreaking situation he has created, over and over again, we are left inspired. The cadence has a jaunty rhythm suggesting defiance. I think our poet is still searching for the light at the end of the tunnel and I think his wife understands him. -Ekin777

'No Such Things As Angels' is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. To have an angel is to be truly blessed. It was a pleasure to both read and review a work of this standard.

Hi Brett, these truly are the most wonderful lyrics, the repeat chorus is also excellent, I personally would have liked to hear them set to music my friend, perhaps later.

I love this sound; can't wait to hear the music. The lyrics are beautiful and in keeping with the grand lyrics of country music. No one can beat country writers when it comes to writing lyrics.

This is a great song and I can almost hear the music to it in my head. Makes me think of Steve Earle lyrics, wistful and determined against the tide, always trying to do right. I will look for more from you, cheers judester

this is a fine piece of poetic art dear brett! believing in someone can be as peaceful as believing in something. i'm an absolutist but my man drinks on occassions and i find it very annoying to say the least. but i love him dearly and won't leave him except if he cheats on me.
thank you for sharing this delicate poem!
blessings!

Wonderful country song lyrics. Such a smooth flow. Nothing else to say as they were wonderful and the six stars says it all.

I like these lyrics I think there are many women being Angels for men or are they enabling them in their drinking.
Thanks for sharing...it is a tough tough tough place for both to be ...and the kids
God bless
