There are times when I'm lying in my bed
How I bellow and cry from this stupid gate
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
Almost rubbed-down swelling
As I keep on dipping my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how embittered I am
'Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me with drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings
And made her mine for all eternity
Now this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me oh
I'm so tired I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning
And my eyes are hurting
From these fumes I make still I light another cigarette
Just to pass my time oh
Heaven knows how embittered I am
'Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me with drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings
And made her mine for all eternity
Now this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me oh
Oh
