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
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
