There are times When I'm lyin' in my bed How I pellow 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
