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
