i sit and wait

does an angel contemplate my fate

and do they know

the places where we go

when we're grey and old

cause i have been told

that salvation lets their wings unfold

so when i'm lying in my bed

thoughts running through my head

and i feel the love is dead

i'm loving angels instead

and through it all she

offers me protection

a lot of love and affection

whether i'm right or wrong

and down the waterfall

wherever it may take me

i know that life won't break me

when i come to call

she won't forsake me

i'm loving angels instead

when i'm feeling weak

and my pain walks down a one way street

i look above

and i know i'll always

be blessed with love

and as the feeling grows

she breathes flesh to my bones

and when love is dead

i'm loving angels instead

and through it all she

offers me protection

a lot of love and affection

whether i'm right or wrong

and down the waterfall

wherever it may take me

i know that life won't break me

when i come to call

she won't forsake me

i'm loving angels instead

and through it all she

offers me protection

a lot of love and affection

whether i'm right or wrong

and down the waterfall

wherever it may take me

i know that life won't break me

when i come to call

she won't forsake me

i'm loving angels instead
