ANGEL

Angel

by Sarah McLachlan


Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
oh, beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty.

Oh, how weightless,
then maybe ill find some peace tonight


In the arms of the angel
far away from here
from this dark cool 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 here
So tired of the straight life
and everywhere you turn

there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
keep on building the lies

that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no differenceescape them 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 the angel
far away from here
from this dark cool 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
where you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
