Angel lyrics
by Sarah McLachlan



Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For a break that will make it okay
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
It may be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel, far away from here
From this stark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel -
May you find some comfort here

So tired of this straight life, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
Storm keeps on twisting, keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escape one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel, far away from here
From this stark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel -
May you find some comfort here.
