There are times

When I'm lyin' in my bed

How I bellow and cry from this stupid get

And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day

Almost rubbed-out, swelling

As I keep on

Diggin' my face

In these cold hands of mine

Heaven knows how embittered, I am

Cause this angel has flown away from me

Leaving me in drunken misery

I should have clipped her wings

And made her mine

For all eternity

Now this angel has flown away from me

I thought I had the strength to set her free

I did what I did

Because I love her so

Will she ever find her way

Back home to me.?

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 in drunken misery

I should have clipped her wings

And made her mine

For all eternity

Now this angel has flown away from me

I thought I had the strength to set her free

I did what I did

Because I love her so

Will she ever find her way

Back home to me?
