Angel

25.03.07

As corny as this may be, I am going to do it, because this was one of the songs that you really loved - to the surprise of some, no doubt. I have been listening to it and thinking of you, and somehow it seems appropriate. Hope you have found some comfort somewhere.

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay

Theres always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release

Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It dont' make no difference
Escaping one last time

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
Youre in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

Youre in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Sarah McLachlan
