There are times when I'm lying 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

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-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 this 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, ooh-ooh-ooh)
